Hey there guys and girls I have a very strange problem with one of the sites I manage. When I changed the nameservers to the Cloudflare’s ones and click on the orange clouds of all DNS records the cloud proxy works for everyone of them except for the top level domain. The staging DNS record is ok, www CNAME is ok too, but main one does not go through a Cloudflare’s IP thus the browsers do not except its SSL certificate.
See for example the ping tests for the top level A record and the staging ones:

I changed the nameservers between more than 36 hours so there is no chance this is a time issue. SSL certs are configured right, it is not my first Cloudflare integration and I’ve never seen this.
