Hello,
Is there anyone here that is familar with the setup of DNS - A, SRV records?
I have been trying to point cloudflare DNS to my minecraft server, I have followed multiple tutorials online to see whether there is any difference but everything is correct. I have ensured that the ports are open and that access can be made, I can access the server from the external IP address but not from the domain but, still given it 48 hours I still am unable to connect from DOMAIN
The play record needs to be DNS Only 
. The SRV record will work, but the origin will not be protected by Cloudflare.
Cloudflare supports Minecraft on 
hostnames when using Cloudflare Spectrum, but that is likely to be very expensive.
I’m not entirely sure about that. I suspect that the warning next to the SRV record says that pointing a SRV record to a hostname exposes the origin IP address. According to Mark Meyer’s info, the target can still be set to 
because it will resolve to the origin IP address.
I don’t know what Minecraft is, but use this tutorial:
I managed to get it working you were right that it could only be DNS only, I was just trying to mitigate DDOS protection so the servers wouldn’t be impacted was trying to cut a corner
That’s curious, then. What was the little warning triangle saying?
It just basically says it will expose the IP address
That’s what I thought, which makes me wonder why it has to be set to , as it looks like a SRV record will bypass the Proxy.
It looks like they made a change here. They do the same trick as for MX records, and returns a dc-randomstring.example.com. in the SRV if the target is , but return the actual target name if the target is 
.
