Changed nameservers - now getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

[deano_g88]

I probably sound like a noob but i’ve looked at other threads and just can’t seem to find a solution

I set up my Cloudflare account
followed the tutorial to log onto 123reg
change the name servers from 123 ones to the two Cloudflare ones

now coming back onto Cloudflare, it says it’s active - but i’m getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors

I have a feeling my DNS settings aren’t correct, however i’m not sure and can’t find any answers on what they should be, and whether they need changing or not?

just added a screenshot of my current settings… please help

Redirect example.com to www.example.com

This tutorial covers redirecting example.com to www.example.com when using Cloudflare, to do the opposite, please see Redirect www.example.com to example.com. You should replace all instances of example.com in the screenshots with your domain. Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing it to 192.0.2.1, a dummy IP. [image] Step 2, Th…
