RDP DNS record help
I am currently attempting to set my domain to be proxied through cloudflare, however, when I proxy my A record, my RDP and other services stop working. How can I have proxying enabled while keeping ssh, rdp (windows remote desktop), and so on working? I assumed that maybe I can just do some srv records as that will allow my minecraft work without proxying, but don't have the knowledge to make it work. Any and all help is appreciated.

SRV records require the service to support them, which a quick search shows RDP doesn't.
The normal proxy just won't work with anything but http
You could rdp/ssh directly to the IP, setup an unproxied subdomain that points directly to the IP, use something like Zero Trust (requiring software on the client who wants to connect, WARP / Private Networking or cloudflared): https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/use-cases/rdp/ for arbitrary tcp/rdp/ssh
Thank you so much for your assitance. I am still new to this DNS record stuff, but I will be looking into this.
