Live web page states DNS points to prohibited IP, but it is actually pointing to a different domain name in the DNS using a Cname record. I did it this way because the host has not mapped this, the second domain.
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
DNS records
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
No steps needed. Website not resolving. Error 1000.
This is an expected error based upon the setup you have described.
We do have our guide explaining this in further details here:
Your Cloudflare DNS A or CNAME record references another reverse proxy (such as an nginx web server that uses the proxy_pass function) that then proxies the request to Cloudflare a second time.
The whole point was to be able to do this myself without having to contact the hosting company to have them add the second domain to their configuration. The process you note is too complicated, and frankly I don’t understand it.
I solved my problem by pointing to your 192.0.2.1 address and using a redirect.
