What is the issue you’re encountering
I recently purchased a domain directly on Cloudflare, and I’m facing an issue where adding or updating DNS records doesn’t seem to work, even after turning off the proxy. Additionally, when I ping any subdomain (e.g., anything.example.com), it responds with a Cloudflare IP address, even though no DNS records have been added for that subdomain. I have tried to use DNS records pointing to a normal IP address with the proxy off, but it doesn’t work either.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
1- Added and updated DNS records in the Cloudflare dashboard.
2- Turned off the Cloudflare proxy (set to DNS-only).
3- Verified the DNS settings and tried various configurations.
4- Pinged subdomains to test DNS propagation.
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
DNS not responding/updating
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
1- Purchase a domain directly on Cloudflare.
2- Add or update DNS records in the Cloudflare dashboard.
3- Turn off the Cloudflare proxy for those DNS records.
4- Ping a subdomain (e.g., anything.example.com) to check if it resolves correctly.
5- Observe that the subdomain responds with a Cloudflare IP address despite the configurations.
