Cloudflare

In some cases, you might use Cloudflare and notice that your production server does not seem to respond to your :6001 port.

This is because Cloudflare does not seem to open ports, excepting a few of them.

To mitigate this issue, for example, you can run your server on port 2096:

bash

php artisan websockets:serve --port=2096

You will notice that the new :2096 websockets server will work properly.
