My server's IP address is not replaced by Cloudflare's after enabling the proxy

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

Hi guys! I’ve got a serious problem here. I have three domains in my Cloudflare account and I’m using a free plan. The ip address of the first one has been changed but the one of the third one doesn’t change. I don’t know why because I set up the first two in the same way and despite everything it doesn’t get replaced by the Cloudflare one. What should I do in this case?

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

I can see you’re using CNAME :thinking:

May I ask if your Cloudflare is temporary Paused since it resolves to the origin IP address instead to the Cloudflare network IPs? :thinking:

  • The “Pause Cloudflare on Site” option from the Overview tab for your domain at dash.cloudflare.com .
  • The link is in the lower right corner of that page.

Furthermore, from the screenshot I hope the proxied :orange: DNS records are the needed ones.

Are the nameservers correctly set at your domain registrar for your Cloudflare account? The addilyn.ns.cloudflare.com and lewis.ns.cloudflare.com are showing for your CF account on the Dashboard or you’ve got different ones?

Hi fritex!
Thanks for replying. I really hadn’t noticed that. How did you find out about this? Are you a Cloudflare agent please? Once again many thanks and best wishes for this 2025. Thank you again…

Now I can confirm it’s correct and resolving over Cloudflare IPs:

$ curl -I -s https://www.bloggors.com/ | grep -E "HTTP|Content-Type|server:|Date|cf-cache-status"
HTTP/2 200
date: Wed, 15 Jan 2025 02:26:56 GMT
cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC
server: cloudflare

Both www and non-www version resolve over :orange: now, using command line (terminal) checking (can be checked using online tools as well):

$ dig A +short bloggors.com
172.67.200.83
104.21.21.205

$ dig A +short www.bloggors.com
172.67.200.83
104.21.21.205

Just a curious, passionate and caring volunteer loving to help others just as my other colleagues are here on the :orange: forums :wink:

I am happy to assist you :hugs:
