I don't know what to do, I'm experimenting with creating a Lemmy instance. it's listening on port 8536 but cloudflare won't respond and connect and while i connected the tunnel to the instance, i can't figure out the error or how to make it connect to the server.

"Failed to connect to localhost port 8536 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server"

Are you pointing cloudflare directly to Lemmy? I have mine going from cloudflare to Nginx Proxy Manager configured to serve Lemmy.

There is some additional configuration necessary for a reverse proxy in front of Lemmy, which is potentially where things are getting messed up for you?

    Cloudflare tunnels support higher port numbers. I've done it in the past with Portainer. Also Proxmox which listens on 8006. Portainer on 9443.
