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"

Can you access it without Cloudflare?

Does curl http://localhost:8536/ work?

You are using cloudflared right? Because normal (non-cloudflared) Cloudflare doesn't support port 8536.

Cloudflared, yes. "curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8536 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server"

What's the URL you using to access it without Cloudflare?

Edit: Also that curl tells me it's not listening on that IP/port.

To add: (I'm just going down the checklist here https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/)

Can you show us that cloudflared is actually running. I wanna see it
Does your firewall allow the connection

Have you gotten to the authentication step?

How are you accessing it without Cloudflare? How do you know that Lemmy is actually listening?
