DNS Record For Page Rule Redirect Not Showing

[RyderCragie]

I have a Page Rule set up on my domain which forwards RyderCragie.com to www.RyderCragie.com. I first assumed that Cloudflare would add it’s own DNS record to get this working, but after some research apparently it doesn’t, which I find very silly.

There is currently no record in my DNS for this, however it does indeed redirect. I am not too sure if the wildcard record covers the root domain, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. The reason I think that it doesn’t is that with it currently being proxied, my root domain and any other subdomain points to Cloudflare’s servers.

However, if I disable the proxy, it only begins pointing to the direct IP for the subdomains - not for my root domain (that still points to Cloudflare), so I don’t know what is controlling this.

Can someone explain what’s going on please?

there’s no definitive/well-documented A record or CNAME record that users should point their domain to

Sure there is. It’s in step one in this Community #tutorial as well as many other places in both official documentation and Community #tutorial guides.

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…
