Alternative websocket address (to bypass CloudFlare)

[TheBronx]

Is it possible to configure NodeBB to connect websockets to a different address?
I've found two issues:

1. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1916
2. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2529

The first one looked good, but seems that the second removed that option from the ACP, why?
Isn't it a good idea to allow websockets to be on a different server so they don't degrade to long polling when using CloudFlare?

How can we do this right now? is it possible?

Thanks!

We just removed it from the ACP, it can be put in config.json now in a socket.io block.
