Thank you for reaching out to us. I can see on your dashboard that you’ve paused Cloudflare, meaning that the traffic is not proxied and security and performance services are inactive. The error is still there, so this not related to Cloudflare.
I went ahead and searched for other topics raised here in the community and found this: Ns_error_unknown_host
This error usually refers to a domain that cannot be resolved by the DNS server your system is using.
Those errors make me think that something got misconfigured with a manual “CDN” setting to point to Cloudflare, which is not necessary, since Cloudflare doesn’t need a special URL to be used as a CDN.
thanks.
now i am even more confused.
the first link did not work btw.
teh 2nd link resolved; but i am totally confused by all this talk about CF ip addresses for various settings when there are no such ip addresses isted in the DNS Records i can see
on another note, given that one of links did not waork, what info do you have about wtf actually happened?
bizarre and scxary if that could happen. HOW???
thanks for p[rompt response.
will attempt to check that later.
a couple of observations/queri4s.
i have CNAME records for both ftp & mail pointing to the site, and proxied. but we see in previous link, it is telling me that they are using CFF. are there other zone records i should change to DNS only if that is related?
there is MX zone record (of course) and it is quite deliberately point to the underling host IP addy. so WHY do i
see again this thing about CF IPs?
this has got me flumoxed. and why just this one domain/site?
Cloudflare only proxies HTTP(S) traffic (unless using Cloudflare Spectrum) so any records for other protocols, such as mail, FTP, SSH, etc, needs to be set to “DNS only”.
Changing nameservers can only be done by logging in to your registrar so you need to look there. Pausing Cloudflare would only make all DNS records act as if not proxied.
