Hi,
I ve tried following the tutorials and answers on this forum but I can not get the set up to work.
I did this:
I created a classic load balancer on AWS
I created hosted zones in Route53 and added an A record pointing at the load balancer
I changed the NS servers in Godaddy to Cloudflare
I added a Cname record in Cloudflare using Name = the domain name.com and Target = the Name of the ELB that is supossed to go in an A record.
It doesnt work :(( and I dont understand why.
I m moving from Cloudfront to Cloudflare because of the proxy security.
Any help much appreciated.

I created the classic load balancer, making sure it has the same security group as the instances
I created a hosted Zone in Route 53 and added the domain
I added the Route53 NS records to Godaddy
I added the A alias record to the Classic Load Balancer in Route 53. I chose the availability zone and then the load balancer appeared in the field. please note it has a pre pended word to the load balancer dns name. This is where I was going wrong! I was copying the DNS load balancer name without this pre pended word and pasted that in the cname. That wont work
I then added the site to cloudflare
I changed the godaddy dns ns to cloduflare
In the cloduflare I added Cname entered domain in name and the load balancer name including the prepend (as it appears in route 53 A record)
I added a secondary Cname to cloudflare in the name I entered www and target domain.com
I hope this helps it took me all day to figure it out.
