For ages I've been using a simple DuckDNS entry to access Jellyfin
externally.  I have port 8096 forwarded and can access it in a browser
by entering my IP
([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8096](https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8096)) or
[example.duckdns.org:8096](https://example.duckdns.org:8096).

I've now purchased a domain name through Cloudflare which now shows
Active on their dashboard.  I've created "A" and "CNAME" DNS records,
with "A" set to @ and my IP (the one above that works directly).
"CNAME" is set to "www" and points to my domain name from the "A"
record.  Proxy is enabled for both.

If I try to open [mydomain.org:8096](https://mydomain.org:8096) it
times out.  It's been about 24 hours since I set all this up with
Cloudflare.  DNS checkers point [mydomain.org](https://mydomain.org)
to Cloudflare IP addresses.  What am I doing wrong?

With proxy enabled, only port 80/443 will work.
