I purchased a domain through Cloudflare. I want it to redirect or forward to a URL I own outside of Cloudflare (Wix). I think I’ve got the page rule correct, but I have no idea what DNS records to create for the Cloudflare domain. Please help. Thank you!
Welcome to the Cloudflare Community.
I’m partial to creating one proxied AAAA record using the discard prefix IP of
100::
for the name that you are matching. That will direct visitors to the Cloudflare proxy where your rule can handle the rest.
Thank you so much, @epic.network
I did as you said. I’m not super tech-savvy, so perhaps I missed something that’d be obvious to you. I attached screenshots of (1) DNS records for the Cloudflare domain; (2) the rule for the redirect from the Cloudflare domain to my external webpage; and (3) the error I receive with the current setup.
Do you see any additions/changes I need to make?
#2 and #3 follow…
The DNS record in screenshot number one looks good.
Why does the match pattern in your page rule end with a +
? That’s not going to work.
I read that somewhere as recommended, but I’ve seen it elsewhere differently. I will change to:
www . theglampingstore . co/* (spaces added b/c I could not include a link). With that change I am still receiving the same error as shown in screenshot #3 above. Any other suggestions?
Do not add www.
as it will break your match. You don’t have a www
hostname published, anyway, so no requests to that name should leave the browser.
That did it! I’m now able to go from theglampingstore TO mittengetaways. com/theglampingstore…
A follow-up question: Do you know if it’s possible to use a wildcard in the rule to go from theglampingstore . co/EXAMPLE TO mittengetaways . com/theglampingstore/EXAMPLE ?
You mean like this?
Yes, that worked perfectly. Thanks again!
