Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

Name Server: NS-CLOUD-E1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: NS-CLOUD-E2.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM

Name Server: NS-CLOUD-E4.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM

You have your nameservers pointed at Google DNS. If you want to use Cloudflare DNS, you need to remove the Google nameservers at your registrar and replace them with ones shown in your Cloudflare account.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I actually just removed Cloudflares nameservers (see photo below) and put Squarespaces back when it would not work so you may have gotten to them after I did this. I also did this because what I wanted to do most after doing this was make sure my website was blocked from access from some other countries since some of the content I use prohibits access from these countries but under the free plan it looks like there is no way to do this and since this is a personal website and I don’t get any monetary gain I didn’t think spending $240 for just those features was warranted. It may come to pass that this will actually be my only option which is fine if that is it, but I need to be budget concious and look for alternatives since the free plan doesan’t eppear to allow this. If it does, I sure could not find it.

Thank you again thought I truly appreciate you looking at it. Have a great evening.

I’m not sure what gave you that impression, but Firewall Rules let you restrict by country.

Hmm. I’m going to revisit this tomorrow. When I went into my settings and to WAF, it said I would have to purchase an add-on. Reddit said it could be done on the free account but after I couldn’t get my website to work using the two cloudflare nameservers I didn’t go any further. But if you say I can be done then I trust your expertise. Thanks. I will try this again tomorrow. Have a great evening.

You may have seen that block by country using IP access rules is an Enterprise only option, but you can block countries using WAF custom rules using any plan as noted above.
