Redirect subdomain to external domain

[pierre.lavoine]

Hi there,

I’m getting tired to do a simple things.
I just switch a TLD to Cloudflare.

Then I used to have a subdomain a.myhost.fr that redirect to anOtherDomain.com (manage by TXT 1|https://anOtherDomain.com)

Since I switched to Cloudflare I can’t find the way to get that redirect working.

I tried :

• Rules → Redirect Rules (by following this : https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/url-forwarding/single-redirects/examples/)
• Bulk Redirect ( by following : https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/basic-tasks/manage-domains/redirect-domain/)
• classic DNS record 1|…
• Https DNS record

So question is : what is the way to make a simple redirection of a sub domain to an other domain while using Cloudflare ?

Thanks for your help.

I like to create only one Proxied AAAA record using the discard prefix 100:: for sub.example.com. You can then create a single redirect similar to the following.
