Hiding IP on DNS Records
Hi! I asked about how to hide my IP on my public Minecraft server. I am planning to add a domain, but my friend says that people can reverse search the domain back to my IP adress. A Redditor said I can use Cloudflare to hide my IP on the DNS Records, any chance someone can tell me how?

?tunnel-tcp
Cloudflare Tunnels use Cloudflare's proxy, which only supports proxying HTTP Traffic. If you want to use non-http applications over your tunnel, Cloudflare has a few other options:
For a few specific protocols such as SSH, RDP, and SMB, Cloudflare has guides for them here:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/
For Arbitrary TCP like Minecraft, MySQL, and any other tcp application, Cloudflare has a guide here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/arbitrary-tcp/
For Arbitrary UDP like Minecraft Bedrock, SMTP, and any other udp application, you will need to use Private Networking with WARP: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/private-net/connect-private-networks/
Please note for all of these except SSH and VNC which can be browser-rendered, you will either need to use cloudflared (Cloudflare's tunnel daemon) on the client machine running in the background or Private Networking with WARP, and have WARP installed on the client machine logged into your Zero Trust Team.
tldr: running the server for your friends? use tunnels
need large scale access? get spectrum
otherwise use tcpshield
Running the server for a public community, maybe a total of 50 members.
Im still confused...
Expanding on what Idle said,
Cloudflare Tunnels = not public, have to run Cloudflare warp software on each friend device too
Cloudflare Spectrum = public access, expensive
tcpshield = not cf product, similar to spectrum
