Cloudflare and SSL question

[ralke]

Hi, I need some support with this, I bought a domain .cl and redirect it to the ip of my server vps like the image, then I get an SSL certification but the problem is that if the hostname (greedot.cl) when the certification is active dont allow me to upload the server to otservlist.org (it says the server is currently offline) and dont let me connect with ip changer. The other way I did is to have a CNAME without proxy and thats working... But I dont want it to be like that, I need that players can connect with greedot.cl which is with Proxy..



So the question is, how I can be able to allow connections to my hostname with having SSL activated.. If I didnt explain well please tell me and I'll answer anything, thanks in advance...

SSL certificate should be generated automatically. The best way is to enable ssl on your http server too so you download "Cloudflare edge certificates" and set them on your server. After that you can set SSL mode to "strict" and only https connection will be allowed.

You cannot use Cloudflare for gameserver.

You cannot use Cloudflare for gameserver.

Actually, you can, using WebSockets. I've tried it and it worked pretty good but had some lag spikes every 10-20sec, probably due to they don't use NoDelay option for TCP connections.

Basically all Hosting Services offer a pretty strong DDoS protection already that is enough for any OT by far. So no need to use Cloudflare for that.
