Your interpretation is exactly correct!
I am afraid it isn’t, as your domain won’t serve anything as you do not have DNS entries.
Again, you simply switched to that other account and did not move the configuration.
Sorry, but we are going in circles a bit
As I wrote, on which account do you want to use the domain? Those nameservers you have to set and make sure the entire configuration is in place.
The only one going in circles here is you
The domain does not resolve because there are no records. That is (currently) intended.
It was (apparently) previously used by someone else on another account to serve a malicious website. This was (probably) possible because the OP has set the Nameservers to Cloudflare nameservers without adding the domain to his account, which would allow an attacker to hijack the domain if he added it to an account that used this nameserver pair.
OP now added the domain to his account using what he suspected to be “some else’s nameservers” and everything is working correctly now.
Ah, I want to use this domain on my account where robin
and sri
are my usual nameservers; this account is supplying lilith
and garret
as the ns pair that I should use, so I have changed my ns on registrar from robin
+sri
to lilith
+garret
, and now it is working properly, serving no A/AAAA records is the correct behavior.
I have no recollection of ever adding kvs.mobi to any CF accounts under my control. As such, CF serving A/AAAA records with the robin
+sri
ns pair is not the intended behavior.
Oh please
We have established this a long time ago. And no, we do not know if that is intended.
Everything you wrote so far is speculation and I would like to kindly ask not to derail the thread. The only thing we know so far is that the OP has more than one account and uses all the mentioned name servers. Apart from that we have do not know much.
Thank you so much @Laudian! You summarized it better than I did!
There are no usual nameservers. As mentioned, you have to use the nameservers which were indicated when you added the domain. If this is garreth, you have to use that and configure the account accordingly. If you previously set robin and did not have that provided in any of your other accounts, then your domain was active in someone else’s account.
If your account currently says garreth, your DNS setup is correct, however you will need to configure all DNS entries.
Thank you @sandro and @Laudian! For all the help you have provided! I now understand that:
- each account may have different pairs of NS
- always make sure to add your site to your CF account before making changes to the NS on the registrar, otherwise, malicious actors may take over such domains
Thank you all! And hope you all a wonderful weekend! This resolved my issue!
My pleasure. Though, nameservers are still not account specific. They get randomly assigned and you must not set nameservers before Cloudflare did not tell you which ones to use.
