: Reverse proxying a Websocket upstream with Cloudflare I am wanting to use cloudflare on my main website and then use nginx to reverse proxy a directory to my websocket gameserver. NGINX server

I am wanting to use cloudflare on my main website and then use nginx to reverse proxy a directory to my websocket gameserver.

NGINX server block:

location /Fonzy/ {
proxy_pass websocket; proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}




Upstream block:

upstream websocket {
least_conn;
server GAMESERVERIPHERE:9300;
}


My question is, since the cloudflare site will be a different server than my gameserver, will the upstream still work? Or does the upstream block server have to be a local address?

The reason why I am curious is because I am wanting the "protection" from cloudflare, but still want to have my gameserver hidden (or should I say reverse proxied).
