DNS-only records are exposing IP addresses. Is this a security concern?

What is the name of the domain?

play.ma-fl.com

What is the error message?

Some of your DNS-only records are exposing IP addresses that are proxied through Cloudflare.

What is the issue you’re encountering

The error message says further: Make sure to proxy all A, AAAA, and CNAME records pointing to proxied records to ensure your origin server is fully protected.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

As shown in the screenshot, i enabled the proxy trough cloudflare but i still get this message.
How can i fix this and is it a security concern?

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

Screenshot of the error

You can’t proxy the target of an SRV record. Cloudflare automatically creates a new DNS-Only record that you can’t see in the dashboard, but it’s there:

dig +short _minecraft._tcp.play.ma-fl.ch srv
1 1 42048 _dc-srv.55d7fde04c43._minecraft._tcp.play.ma-fl.ch.

dig +short _dc-srv.55d7fde04c43._minecraft._tcp.play.ma-fl.ch
152.228.198.186

Minecraft would not work with a proxied record anyway.

It is a security concern, but it can’t be helped if you are running multiple services from the same server.
