Hello, I really need some help accessing my app via cloudfared tunnel. The app is installed on an AWS EC2 Debian machine. I can successfully hit the page using http://[EC2IP]:[port] configured via inbound security rules. I can also successfully setup the cloudflare tunnel and access it via that tunnel and my personal domain and CNAME, but ONLY if I expose all TCP ports for 0.0.0.0/0. Otherwise Cloudflare cannot access the application. I have tried adding the public cloudflare ipv4 ranges (https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/) to the inbound rules, but that does not work either. Can anyone help with this?

EDIT: got it to work! Thank you so much @lilshalom@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world and @voidx@futurology.today !!

Not yet. I did a fresh install on a new EC2 server. Cloudflare tunnel seems to be connected correctly i.e. the handshake is successful, and when I hit the URL, I get the cloudflare 404 page that shows the app is down. @lilshalom (is that how you tag in Lemmy?) I'm having trouble figuring out EC2 logs - I'm pretty new to AWS. But I'm pretty confident at this point that the tunnel is setup correctly, but for some reason, it cannot connect to the app. For what it's worth, I did have it all working on my local raspberry pi. I'll tinker a bit more and then I'll probably try the app's GitHub issues page and see if the dev can chime in
