Proxied A Record Pointing To WebSocket Server Connection Fails

I recently signed up for Cloudflare and successfully configured my custom domain to point to a Cloudflare Page (Static Website).

Additionally I'd like to proxy SSL traffic to my WebSocket Server. I created an A Record, enabled Proxy, I'm able to ping the host name, and I'm 100% certain my WebSocket Server is running.

When trying to connect to my server using
wss://hostname.com
wss://hostname.com
from the client I continue to get a connection failed error as if the server is offline.

What am I missing to get this working?
