I have a small question/issue with TOR and discourse;

I have setup TOR with discourse and it’s working fine with [NPM](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-nginx-proxy-manager-to-manage-multiple-sites-with-discourse/206344) (Nginx Proxy Manager); but for more private i decide using [CloudFlared argo tunnel](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-on-a-residential-internet-with-cloudflare-tunnel/211297) than NPM, since CloudFlared have issue with NPM as it must be first connected with origin IP, ex error ( [Error 1000: DNS points to prohibited IP](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029779472-Troubleshooting-Cloudflare-1XXX-errors#error1000) ) ; and NPM proxy that; so i disable NPM and move with CloudFlared.

The error explain the following which could let us closer to fix the issue;

### Common causes

- An A record within your Cloudflare DNS app points to a [Cloudflare IP address](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/), or a Load Balancer Origin points to a proxied record.
- Your Cloudflare DNS A or CNAME record references another reverse proxy (such as an nginx web server that uses the proxy\_pass function) that then proxies the request to Cloudflare a second time.
- The request X-Forwarded-For header is longer than 100 characters.
- The request includes two X-Forwarded-For headers.
- A Server Name Indication (SNI) issue or mismatch at the origin.

### Resolution

- If an A record within your Cloudflare DNS app points to a [Cloudflare IP address](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/), update the IP address to your origin web server IP address.  
\*\*\* There is a reverse-proxy at your origin that sends the request back through the Cloudflare proxy. Instead of using a reverse-proxy, contact your hosting provider or site administrator to configure an HTTP redirect at your origin.\*\* ← give attention here.

After disable NPM and setup cloudflared in the front TOP address only show me the title of the Discourse and not the context.

It’s **doesn’t** show me blank page without title… the **title is working** ( which is mean the connection works between container and cloudflare ) but **content is blank** and i believe it’s value in nginx.conf would fix it;

I try to disable the Nginx proxy which is “useless” with CloudFlare and replace it with these values for supporting CloudFlared argo tunnel;

```plaintext
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/f1r4s/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock:;
proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
proxy_redirect off;

#proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
#proxy_http_version 1.1;
#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
#proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

```

Can someone share some knowledge to fix this issue ? since TOR and CloudFlared, is highly recommended these days for our users privacy.

**Please note when i disable CloudFlared argo tunnel and use NPM “PORT” not web socket, TOR working perfectly, but for more advanced security and privacy concern i’m shareing this issue.**
