Using DDNS and adding CNAME
Hello everyone,
So I'm setting up a server in my house, I have a dynamic IP and so I'm using a DDNS, I've already use services like no-ip.com or dynu.com, but this time I bought a domain in Cloudflare and wanted to use Cloudflare's solution.
I'm using a super simple bash script and a crone job that updates my the IP in a in this case
Problem and checks:

update.example.com. I've tested that it works. If I manualy set an IP 1.2.3.4 after ~1min it will change to myPublicIP.Problem and checks:
- If I ping `update.example.com` I get `64 bytes from 104.21.69.88 (104.21.69.88)` an IP from Cloudflare but not `myPublicIP`.
- I add a CNAME `myApp` to that points to `update.example.com`.
- I ping `myApp.example.com` I get `64 bytes from 172.67.206.191 (172.67.206.191)` also an IP from Cloudflare.
