I have started using Cloudflare from last couple of months. I have made all the necessary changes to make Cloudflare work for my website. It was working fine for a month and now when I see analytics, I obsesrve that Cloudflare has stopped working for my finance website. I was not able to uploaded screenshot of analytics for observation purpose.
Since email was not working. I found answer from Cloudflare community and then I have switched off “proxy status” for couple of DNS records. Since then it was working fine as well as email. but suddenly one day, I see that Cloudflare doesn’t have anydata and its not working for my website. I have attached my DNS records for reference only.
Also from last few days, I have also noticed that my SSL has also stopped working, which was working good. So for now you can see, https://wikifinancepedia.com is running on LetsEncrypt SSL instead of Cloudflare ssl. As http was not redirecting to https, so I have manually added this ssl certificate as Cloudflare ssl was not working.
Conclusion: #CommunityTip: There is no error message. but I have noticed that Cloudflare has stopped working from last few days.
So overall, Now nothing works for me even after all the DNS records are present. I am seeing some help from you guys to resolve my problem. I appreciate your all the efforts to assist me on the same.
Appreciate your help. I will wait for couple of day to check - If I am getting any data in Cloudflare analytics.
Just to clarify, this will not impact my emails, right? For emails to work I have set everything to DNS only. Just to confirm - do we just need to set MX - wikifinancepedia.com - mail.wikifinancepedia.com for proxy status as “DNS only” to make email communication works?
I have noticed that after changing the proxy status of DNS record as mentioned. my email id is not working now. Gmail is not able to sync emails from my domain email id. I am getting error message as - Error checking mail for [email protected]. Please check the attached screenshot of changed status of DNS records.
I can see that after changing proxy status of DNS records, pages are been cached and I can see the same in analytics as well as my SSL certificate also updated to Cloudflare SSL now.
Try changing the Incoming and Outgoing/SMTP servers to mail.EXAMPLE.COM (your domain). The ‘mail’ subdomain is not set to , so it’s a direct connection. Your EXAMPLE.COM is and does not proxy email connections.
I have spoken to godaddy for changing outgoing server and incoming server to mail.wikifinancepedia.com. They mentioned that your email ids will also change when we add subdomain in your linux cpanel hosting. For eg: it will change to [email protected]. I don’t what this way. I want it to remain as [email protected]
Seems like I am stuck in between. Now godaddy are mentioning all the reasons to ask support from Cloudflare. As I want to use Cloudflare as well as mails both at same time. Please guide me, how can I get back emails working when using Cloudflare.
I believe, I have added after seeing some of the support pages from cloudflare, when I was searching email not working with cloudflare.
In goddady, I don’t see any DNS records. It gives the message that “We can’t display your DNS information because your nameservers aren’t managed by us.”
My email has stopped working. Is there any other ways like: email routing, adding mx records, etc to make emails work with cloudflare. As I am not able to change my incoming and outgoing servername.
Also I am looking for any cloudflare support on call or email, if anyone aware of it - let me know. As I am not able to get my answers on cloudflare community.
Try adding a CNAME for ‘mail’ instead of that “A” record. Have it point to your example.com. And set that CNAME to . I think Cloudflare will create a DNS alias that will work for email.
After sometime, I have checked in email settings in godaddy account. Under Non-SSL setting, I observed that outgoing and incoming server got changed to mail.domain.com and also I tried to connect account in gmail through POP3 and I was succesfully in doing so. Thank you much for your assistance.
Thank you Sir, this problem is got partially solved.
Is there possibility that my SSL Setting for incoming and outgoing server - can also get updated to mail.domain.com by making any changes or adding records under DNS configuration?
, so you’re bypassing Cloudflare.
