Preparation - Create proxy host

Note

Preparation for the creation of a proxy.
In any case, it is safer and advisable to do this via the tailscale IPs to ensure your own security.

I use my tailscale IPs for the next steps, but you can still use the addresses from your public IP.
I.e. it is best to read my instructions correctly, but I try to put the alternative IP’s in brackets.

Create API token (Cloudflare)

To create an API token there is an official guide from Cloudflare.
Nevertheless, I will describe how I proceeded.

Official API-Guide

• Open the Cloudflare Dashboard

• Go to My Profile > API Tokens

• Select Create Token

• Select the Template Edit zone DNS

• Edit the token name to describe why or how the token is used.
  I name it “Proxy SSL Token”

• Modify the Permissions to Zone | DNS | Edit

• Modify the Zone Resources to Include' | All zones

• Click Continue to summary

• Click Create Token to generate the token’s secret.

• Copy the secret-token to a secure place
