Thank you for watching and supporting our channel, especially those who sign up as paid members on our website! Do you guys use Cloudflare? Are there any tips you'd like to share with the community? Let everyone know in the comments 🙂

[@pants-on-fire]

Definitely use an Argo Tunnel! No more open ports on my router helps me sleep well at night. The team at Ibracorp has already posted a very in-depth guide to use Argo tunnels on this channel so that's something I hope more people would check out.

[@r0zemary]

Would love to see a new version, given all the new services Cloudflare has introduced in the past year such as R2 and Stream

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

What a great overview. I keep pushign off switching to CloudFlare, but I think I need to take the plunge soon. Well done, as always!

[@IBRACORP]

Thank you mate! It's a great tool with many benefits. If you ever need help shout out

[@oakfig]

Jump in there awesome! Ibracorp has a banging community!

[@cosmosPK]

I work at CF in sales. If you have any questions, I can help.

[@IBRACORP]

We do have a question, how can we partner with you? We have advocated CloudFlare for a long time on our channel. Email us [e-mail]

[@markh2827]

Thankyou, this video was what I was after, it helped me get everything up and running, kudos on your teaching style. Cheers

[@oakfig]

Great video as always! Ibracorp is making some good headway.

[@sanjeev2003]

Great video. There are not good videos regarding cloudflare on mid to advance level.

[@IBRACORP]

Thank you Sanjeev, glad you enjoyed it

[@RossPfeiffer]

you didn't post the link in the description to the other video where you show people how to connect to their website. but i'll look

[@donovangraham8932]

nice

[@jecstrike]

Great video. I really loved the argo tunnel from cloudflare video as well. Ill be waiting if ever the plex can utilize the argo tunnel instead of the port forwarding. More videos for you.

[@boriss282]

Thanks for Cool Video, im already using Cloudflare Full Strict and switched from swag to NPM (Thanks to your video befor ) can you explain more about "Authenticated origin pull" maybe how enable it on server ...

[@chikosan99]

Thanks, Great!

[@ImAbbasious]

Hi, bro can I totally transfer my WordPress website hosting and domain to CloudFlare and how can I access WordPress site builder?

[@rahimco-su3sc]

amazing

[@magicmanj32]

Great video, question, in firewall can you allow ports 22,80 and 443 through and block everything else, having a hard time figuring it out

[@mndaddy]

I first want to say thank you for all you do I couldn't have gotten unraid setup without a lot of your help. One point of criticism I have or a suggestion is you have a lot of videos' and for example in this video you mentioned we covered tunneling in this video or how to install the certificate in this video but you don't provide a link to those videos in the video or in the comments with as many videos you have it makes it really hard to track them down or find the current one you also have videos with duckdns and ngnix but then you said hey I found a better way to go with cloudflare just some thoughts for you to think about. Once again that you so much for what you do.

[@IBRACORP]

Thank you mate appreciate the positive feedback! I definitely agree and it's some that can be easily fixed. Cheers!

[@New_Wrench]

Thank you!

[@IBRACORP]

You're welcome 🙂

[@maurice2755]

Hi there, i did follow your guide but after my complete setup is done im getting 523 error | Origin unreachable when trying to connect?

[@3rdtwirl494]

Hi ive noticed my images i used are very washed out and barely can be seen , can i run a plug in or something on CF to help ?

[@MichaelSharpTechniSmart]

Thanks Aussie. You now have a subscriber that has been underutilizing Cloudflare until now. I am a web freelancer. Can I give the web client access to their web analytics on the free plan?

[@IBRACORP]

You can provide them access however if I remember correctly it would be administrator access. Not sure if this changes in the paid plans. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@420Myths]

i really wish you would link the videos you talk about lol. oh yea we set this up in a previous video.. previous videos = 4 different ways its setup...................

[@IBRACORP]

Hi 420Myths, thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it!

[@Clarence-Homelab]

Great video! :) Quick question: Did you manage to correctly send all plex traffic through a reverse proxy? I can only get the web apps to work through my reverse proxy but not the plex mobile apps.

[@IBRACORP]

Yeah Clarence it's pretty easy to reverse proxy Plex to be honest. Nothing special about it, just make sure you create a subdomain for it and add that to Plex' settings for discovery

[@Clarence-Homelab]

@@IBRACORP I have all of that setup already. But I would like to turn off remote access in the PMS settings and still be able to reverse proxy all the traffic and have the plex mobile apps be able to connect.

[@juan11perez]

@@Clarence-Homelab ​ @Clarence i dont have remote access activated. for the app to work you need to go to settings, network and in the Custom server access URLs box you add your plex domain. That's it

[@ezekielrabago164]

Hi how do I enable cloudflare on my website? is the cname and a record enough to enable it?
