I purchased a domain name on Cloudflare and I want to resolve it to my server, but I am currently experiencing some issues. I added ‘Class A+server IP+5-minute TTL’ in the domain name record, but when I entered ‘ping+domain name’ in the command prompt, the result was that I couldn’t find the host.
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
Works fine, however it might be due to the local ISP cache and it doesn’t resolve over your DNS servers:
$ ping huahua88.org

Is it local IP address such as 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or 127.xxx.xxx.xxx?
If yes, then unfortunately it won’t work as expected and you’d need a public static IP address. Otherwise, you could use cloudflare tunnel to bound your service or website from your device locally and make it available to the public Internet (without the need to have a public static IP address and open ports on your router/firewall).
Furthermore, DNS record A huahua88.org does (not the www) resolve over below nameservers for your domain, however I got 523 error as follows:
