Comment on Cloudflare is not working for me the way I hoped it would.

I would recommend you setup a Reverse Proxy, such as NGINX Proxy Manager, Cloudflare free tier only allow to forward 80 and 443 port. A reverse proxy would listen on port 443 and 80 for all connection and forward request to the right site using the hostname.
Thanks. I was hoping (but not sure) that cloudflare would act as a proxy by sending the traffic to the port I wanted, and that would sort things out (since it’s all running off of one machine). Still, maybe setting up Nginx is the way to go. I’ll have to put that a little ways down the to do list.
Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it.
Well, in my setup I use both, Cloudflare point to my proxy manager, so there is a dual proxy in a way. but the users always hit cloudflare first and never my own proxy, so I can use CF security feature as well (blocking other country, ip, known bad actors etc)

Cloudflare Tunnels will let you proxy any port, as long as it’s HTTP(S) or SSH, even on free tier.
Also I believe there’s a thing now for proxying other ports anyway on free tier without tunnels, but I haven’t looked too much into it.
