What is the domain?

Can you show a screenshot of your page rule?

Change the Page Rule redirect to be from *poshtepardemakki.us/*.
The destination URL can be https://www.poshtepardemakki.us/$2 if you want to include any paths in the redirect.

Delete the CNAME DNS record for poshtepardemakki.us and add a proxied record for it (@) as AAAA 100::.

For the DNS record you have selected CNAME, you must select AAAA from that dropdown instead (don’t put AAAA in the target, only 100::).

The page rule is spotting the possiblilty of circular redirect (although it won’t happen as www is not proxied). Instead then, delete the Page Rule and create a Redirect Rule like this…

Thanks, worked, can you please just teach me something
what 100:: doing? its first time i using this

and what doing AAAA ? i usually used just A

Thanks.

It is just a dummy record that points nowhere. You need a DNS record so your hostname resolves, it needs to be proxied so requests pass through Cloudflare, but it doesn’t actually get used. The advantage of a dummy record is that if your redirect is removed, then requests just time out.

AAAA indicates IPv6 (100:: is an IPv6 address). You could use A 192.0.2.1 instead (also a dummy record that’s used for examples and goes nowhere), but either is OK to make the redirect work.

You could use a real IP address as they are just ignored, but these are useful to remind you the DNS record is for redirecting only.
