Cloudflare DNS

Hi,

I've googled around for an answer but couldn't find one or at least one that I understand. I'm using Cloudflare DNS to hide my server IP. Here's what I did on Cloudflare;

A---------ns1.domainname.tld------server IP Address-----Cloudflare ON
A---------ns2.domainname.tld------server IP Address-----Cloudflare ON
A---------panel.domainname.tld---server IP Address-----Cloudflare ON
A---------domainname.tld-----------server IP Address-----Cloudflare ON
CNAME--www-------------------------domainname.tld------Cloudflare ON

I typed panel.domainname.tld when asked during the installation process. After it finish, I cannot connect to https://panel.domainname.tld:8083/ but I can connect to https://IP_Address:8083/. When I visited panel.domainname.tld and domainname.tld. both shows Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page. But when I replaced the index.html on public_html (on both domain and subdomain) with my index.html, nothing change.

Where did I go wrong?


Any advises would be much appreciated.

No luck whatsoever.

https://panel.domainname.tld:2083/ return Cloudflare Error 521.
As before, I can only access the control panel through https://IP Address:8083.

Posting this for the benefit of other newbies. A kind person pointed to me this solution;

http://www.lowendguide.com/3/security/v ... interface/

Follow the steps as described in the guide except for the port, instead of port 9000 (or any other random port), use one of the https port listed by Cloudflare;

In my case, I use port 2083. After finishing all the steps, simply visit your domain/subdomain address with the new port instead of the old port 8083;

https://domain.tld:2083
or
https://sub.domain.tld:2083

Ignore the browser warning and you're done.
