Horizon Server through Cloudflare

Team, i know i am missing something simple and i have crossposted this on the Cloudflare forum as well but i need a little assistance.  

Currently my Horizon server landing page is setup through CF tunnels and I can get to it from the outside with no problem. After i log in and select my desktop pool to launch a VM, it just spins and eventually times out. The reason for the timeout is the server is trying to pass the browser to the IP of the internal machine 172.2.2.xx and of course it cant get there.

I seem to recall horizon view connection server having an option that forced all connections to run through it ,but it has been a while since i have set one up from scratch. For reference i am running Horizon 7.13.2

Hello,

Well you have 2 options:

- Deploy an UAG at your Network Zone tunnel endpoint that will tunnel the protocol. (best solution to me)

- Tunnel the protocol at Connection Server Level, but this would perhaps not work depending how you tunnel from CF is configured.

For both solution, you need to configure the BSG (Blast Secure Gateway) for HTML and HTTPS tunnel to point to the front FQDN of you UAG or CS.

That will enable the tunneling

Thank you for the feedback.  So I loaded up UAG yesterday in tandem with my posts to try and get it working.  I am having a similar problem with it too.  Under the configuration settings, where I input the external url for blast, when there is a value in there it dies because it can't find the url.   If it's blank then it does because it's looking for a local IP address.

The BSG URL must be the one your client resolves to access (UAG VIP or Internet NIC generally)
