The dig or nslookup tools available on most command lines will give the answer:

finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  108.162.195.58
finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  162.159.44.58
finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  172.64.35.58
finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN AAAA  2606:4700:58::a29f:2c3a
finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN AAAA  2803:f800:50::6ca2:c33a
finley.ns.cloudflare.com IN AAAA  2a06:98c1:50::ac40:233a
shaz.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  108.162.194.249
shaz.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  162.159.38.249
shaz.ns.cloudflare.com IN A  172.64.34.249
shaz.ns.cloudflare.com IN AAAA  2606:4700:50::a29f:26f9

Or use dnschecker.org

Thanks so much. I’m creating my own Nameservers for my clients using Namecheap’s Personal DNS Server feature. Which IP addresses should I use for that?

If you are creating your own nameservers, then you will use the IP addresses of your own servers, not Cloudflare nameservers.

If you want to use Vanity or Custom nameservers on Cloudflare, you need to be on a Business or Enterprise plan.
