MQTT on Belchertown no longer connecting

[bmb...@gmail.com]

Hey All, 

I had my Belchertown skin working fine, until about a week ago when I rebooted my router and was assigned a new IP - I changed the DNS setting for my domain and everything still works except my MQTT server, well, I think that works, but its not connecting anymore 

my config is : 

weewx.conf 

[[MQTT]]

        server_url = mqtt://pi:password@localhost:1883/

        topic = weather

        unit_system = US

        binding = archive, loop

        aggregation = aggregate

Belchertown skin.conf

 # MQTT Websockets defaults

    mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1

    mqtt_websockets_host = "http://imagingphototech.com/weewx/belchertown/"

    mqtt_websockets_port = 9001

    mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0

    mqtt_websockets_topic = "weather/loop"

    disconnect_live_website_visitor = 0

myconfig.conf

persistence false

# mqtt

# websockets

and weewx is publishing data.. 

restx: MQTT: Published record 2020-09-02 10:26:08 EDT (1599056768)

I did update to Belchertown 1.01 recently to see if that fixes it but no change, both locally and remotely I get waiting for data then Failed connecting to the weather station. Please try again later!

Chrome and Safari give same results.

Apparently, Cloudflare doesn't proxy the Websockets for free accounts or at least to port 9001 for free accounts, so I disabled the proxied DNS server and poof, working again.
