I setup page redirect but it is not working
DNS records
key in tropeaam.com into browser
this should redirect to tropeainvest.com
but it does not work
It’s redirecting for me:
% curl -svo /dev/null tropeaam.com/test 2>&1 | egrep -i "< HTTP|< location"
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
< Location: https://tropeainvest.com
Yes, it works now. I had to enable Cloudflare Proxy for this rule to work.
Might be worth highlighting in the documentation.
Thanks for checking.
The DNS screen should make it clear that that entry is DNS Only, and it’s 
. This means traffic is not 
Proxied (going through Cloudflare).
This behavior is described here:
The screen is clear but the docu about howto setup redirection is not clear.
The entire rule setup only works IF Proxy is enabled.
It would be terribly redundant if every single Document page had to include the caveat that you have to Proxy traffic through Cloudflare for these features to work. People usually figure it out pretty fast, though.
Well there is no logical reason why those rules should only work with Cloudflare proxy switched on. Therefore a pointer in the docu is neccesary otherwise people just waste hours on a simple unrelated setting of their rules. It might be trivial for WAN network techies who work with 100s of rules but for sysops that only manage a few DNS records its not self-evident.
