After configuring a domain to point to Medium.com, I encountered Error 1000

Hello, some time ago, I configured one of my domains to point to Medium.com using a custom domain setup. The first domain works perfectly, but when I try to configure another domain to point to my publication, I encounter Error 1000 - “1 DNS points to prohibited IP.” I’m not sure if this issue is with Cloudflare or Medium. Any ideas?

May I ask if it’s pointing to the correct IP address, otherwise you’re using some temporary IP address like 192.168.x.x? :thinking:

If so, try switching to the 192.0.2.1 if the DNS record is proxied and :orange: .

Nevertheless, what kind of type of an DNS record are you using and how did you pointed your domain to the Medium? :thinking:

Was it via their integration or?

I’d suggest you to try and use unproxied :grey: and test out.
