    The goal is to try to market this method before putting it into production where i have a lot of errors

    And we can see that it doesn’t work when I try to reroute the web sockets in non-proxied mode. (socket error, no save when chnage in ACP, etc…)

    I don’t know if I can make myself understood. @phenomlab 🙂

    @DownPW Understood. Even with just the two of us connected, I was still getting the websocket error, but I think that was related to config etc. In all honesty, this is yet another reason why I stopped using CF. I know you need it to hide your IP address, but if you bypass CF for the socket, you are exposing your IP anyway.

  • I know, I know,

    too bad… I just wanted to test this method but it seems more complex than it looks to make it work correctly

    The reverse proxy method is currently too expensive for me and technically too abstract

    @DownPW it’s your only realistic option at this stage.
