A Record Warning

DNS & Network
#1

I’m getting the following warning on an A record: This record exposes the IP behind cpanel.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com which you have proxied through Cloudflare. To fix this, change its proxy status.

I’ve set up a corresponding MX record according to the instructions here: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168876-Email-undeliverable-when-using-Cloudflare. All the info I’m finding indicates that Cloudfare will create a dc-##### DNS record. I don’t have that.

My email is working, the only issue is the warning, which I’d like to fix. Please advise.

The dc-### address is added as an alternate.

Bottom line is that if you need access to your server over ports not covered by Cloudflare, you need to expose your origin IP address.
