CloudFlare and websocket support

SSL
Flexible

Try either Full or Full-Strict

Thanks Kent! Changed it to strict and it worked right away. Tested everything, and all seems to be working smoothly. Appreciate the prompt replies

Last few things I've noticed:
1. Entering the URL without https:// or www. gives a error and website doesn't load. i.e.
- https://pokersiteurl.com ---works
- pokersiteurl.com ---does not work
- www.pokersiteurl.com --- sometimes works

2. Firefox - My lobby doesn't load on Firefox. After entering the site password, it just shows the loading bar and doesn't load the site. Other PM websites work fine on my FF browser. Cleared caches.
3. Is there anyway to hide the password in URL with this setup after you've logged in? https://pokersiteurl.com/?SitePassword= ... Language=0 -

Use my HTTP Redirect Utility from this page: http://www.briggsoft.com/docs/pmavens/Utilities.htm

Email me your link (and reference this thread) and I'll see what it does for me.

Not that I know of.

I solved my issue, the issue was the since I was hosting the server on an AWS EC2 there was a firewall created that did not allow for cloudflare connections. Once I configured the firewall to allow for cloudflare connections and set the SSL on cloudflare to strict everything started working.

I am also trying to get this working with AWS EC2 and cloudflare.

in the AWS console, i added two ports to the inbound rules in security groups for my instance. i added 443 and 8880.
also, in the remote desktop program for AWS EC2, i opened those same ports in windows firewall.

When i enter subdomain.mydomain.com, i am prompted to enter my server password and after that i get a websocket connection error

connecting to WSS://subdomain.mydomain.com:8880
websocket connection error

I have tried this with the server setting Proxy WSS=Yes and No
I also have set proxy IP header=CF-Connecting-IP

Im not sure what else to try.

connecting to WSS://subdomain.mydomain.com:8880

8880 is not in Cloudflare's list of available SSL ports. Use one of these instead: 2053, 2083, 2087, 2096, 8443

Thank you. That fixed my issue. I think I read that port was available in step 3, and then I must have skipped over your note later in the instructions about cloudflare SSL connections.

I followed the instructions and I am stuck at when I start the poker server I get SSL Library not found? Any idea on what I am missing here?

I installed the .cert .key and then the one downloadable file and that is the error I am getting. I put it all in the pokermaven folder

first of all thanks for the explanation i was struggling with this the entire time.
I followed all the steps mentioned but there is still something missing and couldnt make it works.
I am using the API to login and when i added the SSL as mentioned in the steps i got this error

Error: SSL: certificate subject name 'Cloudflare' does not match target host name

The SSL in poker maven was generated with my domain name in cloudfare, how can fix this? I tried to add IP or Host name of my windows server but nothing works, i am new to this kind of stuff
