Ping Shows Original IP Instead of Cloudflare's After CNAME Configuration

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network

What is the name of the domain?

EXAMPLE.xyz

What is the issue you’re encountering

I have set up a CNAME record for my domain to point to Cloudflare and have successfully configured the following two NS addresses: houston.ns.cloudflare.com and ingrid.ns.cloudflare.com. My Proxy state is set to “Proxied,” which I understand should mean that Cloudflare proxies my traffic. However, when I ping my domain from the terminal, I notice that the IP address resolved is still that of my original server and not one of Cloudflare’s IPs. I expected the DNS to return a Cloudflare IP since the proxy is enabled.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I have double-checked the CNAME settings in my DNS records.
I have confirmed that the Proxy status is set to “Proxied.”
I have tried flushing my local DNS cache and also performed a ping from different devices.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS not responding/updating

It’s impossible to debug this without knowing the domain (in order to check publicly visible configuration and test DNS queries), since you already went through the usual troubleshooting steps.

Looks fine to me:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;woshinidie.xyz.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
woshinidie.xyz.         300     IN      A       172.67.143.218
woshinidie.xyz.         300     IN      A       104.21.63.56

Probably a different layer of DNS cache on your side, e.g. on the router or on your configured DNS resolvers side. Sometimes restarting router helps, as does trying public resolvers such as 1.1.1.1. Either way it should resolve itself with time.
