Can not ping domain. I deleted a DNS record.
Not sure whether to create A record, or what IP address it should have.
ping bloxez.com fails
ping www.bloxez.com works - using Pages
Sending an email to my domain fails.
Correction. I can currently ping bloxez.com but I am hacking around with DNS records trying to get my email to work.
Email is google, which automatically set the DNS in cloudflare for me and has been ok for weeks.
But then last few days I have been deploying cloudflare pages, and then tried email routing.
I think somewhere in all of this exploring I have deleted an important DNS record.
Emails are bouncing. I can send from my email address, but I cannot send an email to it. That bounces back to the sender.
I have also checked the audit logs, but there are several IP addresses in there.
Is there no way for Cloudflare just to tell me, or automatically rever an A record to what it should be?
You still have Email routing enabled. You need to disable it if you want to receive emails on Google Workspace.
Cloudflare doesn’t know what it should be.
Ah I see, I’d removed a rule but left the overall feature active.
Thank you so much, I’d made a bit of a mess and you dug me out!
One final question, if you’re able to help.
When I browse www.bloxez.com I get my site.
What is the best practice if people just type bloxez.com, to get them to my site?
Create a proxied AAAA record with name @ and value 100:: and then create a redirect rule that redirects hostname bloxez.com to https://www.bloxez.com.
I did also try with an A record and a dummy IP like 192.0.2.1 same outcome
“DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”
Strangely when I just type bloxez.com in the browser, it does redirect to https://bloxez.com, which makes it look promising…
…but it doesn’t reach https://www.bloxez.com
The redirect works for me.
Thanks for confirming 
Seems Perth Australia is the last place to propagate. 
@Laudian - a huge thank you for your support yesterday. Everything is rock-solid today.
Happy New Year!
