What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
I have just moved my domain from godaddy to cloudflare (wasn’t free…) as all the video tutorials has people using cloudflare.
I have a domain that we’ll call “example” (real domain is my full name) that points to a WAN IP. When I enter in the WAN IP with the port number of my app I can get the website to load, but If I use the domain name the website doesn’t load. SSL on or off didn’t make a difference but I have created a cert from cloudflare and loaded that into Nginx Proxy Manager on my unraid server.
For DNS I have (2) “A” entries. The first is my domain name pointed to my WAN IP and the second is “www” also pointed to my WAN IP.
I have a few CNAME entries as well, such as “sonarr” and “handbrake”. These go to my domain name. When I check dns-checker using “A” they come back green, but when I check using CNAME they don’t? so an example would be sonarr(dot)example(dot)com when checking using “A” dns-checker is green but when I try with CNAME it’s red.
I’m pretty sure all my settings in cloudflare and Nginx Proxy Manager are correct. Nginx Proxy Manager has the settings I used for DNS in cloudflare set to point to my server’s IP along with it’s port for that app.
WAN IP with port resolves but using names does not. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
