How do I setup a reverse proxy on Cloudflare?

Basically, I'm trying to convert http://149.56.67.129:25585 into https://svexpanded.com/ How would I do this?

depending on the type of website you could use an nginx reverse proxy:

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  client_max_body_size 100M;
  server_name <your domain (optional)>;
  
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  }
}

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  client_max_body_size 100M;
  server_name <your domain (optional)>;
  
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  }
}

Or workers:

fetch(request) {
    const url = new URL(request.url)
    url.host = "149.56.67.129:25585"
    return fetch(url, request)
}

fetch(request) {
    const url = new URL(request.url)
    url.host = "149.56.67.129:25585"
    return fetch(url, request)
}

Is this possible going through just Cloudflare? I do not have the resources currently to setup a VPS and nginx reverse proxy

DIVISION_Solar•6mo ago

you could use cf workers

I'll test out this:

fetch(request) {
    const url = new URL(request.url)
    url.host = "149.56.67.129:25585"
    return fetch(url, request)
}

fetch(request) {
    const url = new URL(request.url)
    url.host = "149.56.67.129:25585"
    return fetch(url, request)
}

hm Could you expand on that a bit more? Not quite sure what you mean hahaha

Do you have access to the domain name you bought Add that domain name to CloudFlare https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/add-site

Someone•6mo ago

Already added, yes

RyanKnack•6mo ago

Do you have the DNS records set up for proxying? Type: A Name: @ Target: 149.56.67.129

Someone•6mo ago

Yes, that has been added

RyanKnack•6mo ago

So now you need to overwrite the port from 80 (HTTP)/443 (HTTPS) to your specified port (25585) Under rules > origin rules > new Should be "all Incoming requests" then "overwrite to 25585"

Just did it. Doesn't appear to be working quite yet- could it take some time? ohhh i see i needed to proxy the A record

RyanKnack•6mo ago

I think you may need to configure the DNS on your server side as well Can I see your DNS entries

Someone•6mo ago

I had it on DNS only, Proxied works :D

RyanKnack•6mo ago

Ooh so it works now? Ayyy works on my end as well
