CloudFlare adds support for more ports to handle CPanel and Plesk

They have added support for following ports:

2052
2053
2082
2083
2086
2087
2095
2096
8080
8443
8880

They already support 80 and 443 which are generally used by HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

CloudFlare added:

We’re always looking for ways to make CloudFlare easier. A few weeks ago we began supporting other standard ports used by web control panels.

This covers most the web major control panels. While we will now proxy traffic through these ports, we won’t cache static content or perform any performance or app transformations on requests/responses that flow through them. If you don’t use these, we’ll also soon provide a method to easily shut down these ports at the CloudFlare level.
