txAdmin Proxy Cloudflare

Secure txAdmin with Cloudflare Tunnel

This guide walks you through setting up a Cloudflare Tunnel for txAdmin so that you can safely expose your admin panel without revealing your IP address, helping prevent DDoS attacks.

Requirements

A domain added to your Cloudflare account.
A FiveM server (VPS or dedicated).
Cloudflared downloaded and installed on your VPS or dedicated server.

Step 1: Setup Your Domain on Cloudflare

Make sure you have a domain in your Cloudflare account.
Go to the Cloudflare dashboard and navigate to:
```
Account Home > Zero Trust > Networks > Tunnels
```

If you haven’t set up a Zero Trust team before, you’ll be prompted to create one. You can name it after your RP server, for example, “1OF1 RP” or something similar. When asked about payment, just select the free plan, which includes 50 seats, more than enough for your needs.

Step 2: Configure a Cloudflare Tunnel

Click "Add a Tunnel".
Choose Cloudflared as the tunnel type.
Name the tunnel (e.g., txadmin or any name you prefer).

Step 3: Install Cloudflared

Download the cloudflared binary directly to the VPS or dedicated server your FiveM server is running.

Latest Windows binary here.
Alternate download options directly from Cloudflare located here.

Step 4: Run the Tunnel

Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
Use the cd command to navigate to the folder where Cloudflared was installed. By default, this is likely:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudflared
```
Your command might look like:
```
C:\Users\Administrator> cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudflared"
```
Once you're in the directory, your prompt should look blow, awaiting the copy/paste from Cloudflare.
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudflared>
```

Copy and paste the command shown in your Cloudflare dashboard to authenticate the tunnel and connect it to your account.

Step 5: Configure Tunnel Routing

During setup:

Subdomain: txadmin
Domain: Select from your Cloudflare-managed domains.
Service Type: http
URL: localhost:40120

Security Tip: It’s strongly advised not to use the default port 40120 for txAdmin. Instead, choose a random, non-standard port to help protect against automated scans and potential exploits.

Set Custom txAdmin Port

To change the port txAdmin uses, set the following environment variable in your batch script:

set TXHOST_TXA_PORT=40125

This ensures txAdmin will bind to TCP port 40125. For full documentation on environment variables and advanced configuration, visit the official txAdmin docs.

If you choose to change the txAdmin port to something other than the default port, ensure this port is opened in the Windows Firewall as well, and close 40120.

This forwards traffic from txadmin.yourdomain.com to your local txAdmin panel.

Step 6: Deploy and Access

Once deployed, your txAdmin panel will be securely accessible at:

https://txadmin.yourdomain.com

Done!

You now have a secure way to manage your FiveM server using txAdmin without exposing your public IP address.
