Hello, I’m Allie!OP•8/17/23, 8:03 PM

Google Domains might have sent an email confirming the auto renew, which they took as having renewed it themselves ?

DDodo No I just renewed it last month

Chaika•8/17/23, 8:03 PM

maybe worth asking Google about it then, that status period
Domain Status: autoRenewPeriod https://icann.org/epp#autoRenewPeriod
is a "grace period", shouldn't be applied if you did pay already

tucows, another tld operator, describes it a bit more directly:

autoRenewPeriod
Meaning: The domain has expired, and the registry has charged the registrar for an extra year of renewal.
What to do: Renew the domain with your current registrar or get the transfer key to move the domain to another provider. Alternatively, do nothing and allow the domain to be deleted or go to auction.

dk, could at least ask Google about it, they shouldn't be eating a year from you on transfer otherwise

Understanding domain statuses

Domain names can have several different statuses on them in their lifetimes. A domain's status is visible in a Whois lookup, and it can signify whether the registrant must take specific actions. It...

Take a look here to see why the Cloudflare datacenter you are routed towards isn't always the closest geographically: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/peering-why-dont-i-reach-the-closest-datacenter-to-me/76479

Cloudflare Community

Peering - Why don't I reach the closest datacenter to me?

Why don’t I reach the closest datacenter to me? Cloudflare is an anycast network, so where you are routed is determined by peering with ISPs. The shortest path geographically isn’t always possible due to peering agreements. If you request a site hosted on Cloudflare from home: The domain resolves to a Cloudflare IP Your browser sends an HTT...

Both could work, depending on network conditions.

You can also try contacting your ISP. They may not make a change for an individual, but if enough people report it, they might

AAdain would have been nice if there was a way to create cache rules by content type

sathoro•8/18/23, 12:48 AM

content type is returned by the server. how do you cache on something not provided by the client?

sathoro•8/18/23, 12:48 AM

sathoro•8/18/23, 12:49 AM

the closest thing would be caching based on the file extension

Andy•8/18/23, 3:41 AM

if i make a dns record are they published to some sort of public database or are they only able to be found if i make a ssl certificate (i know those are logged)

Andy•8/18/23, 3:41 AM

for example if i have ZVsWjARmifAlNLzfjVduu.google.com would i have to query for that or would it be possible to see that it at least exists without having to query a dns server for that

Erisa•8/18/23, 7:58 AM

dns has no list functionality so as long as you dont make a certificate (wildcard are good for this) it will be "hidden" unless something else leaks it

Erisa•8/18/23, 7:58 AM

i would not rely on it for proper security and access control though

EErisa i would not rely on it for proper security and access control though

Andy•8/18/23, 8:01 AM

it will be on one of my domains which may reveal that its a service related to whatever im running but its not dangerous becuase its all secured i just would rather not have it public bypassing cloudflare

Andy•8/18/23, 8:01 AM

so it will be fine ill just make it crazy something because what im running that i dont want shown is set for only cloudflares ips anyway

Erisa•8/18/23, 8:03 AM

sure

Dubz•8/18/23, 8:16 AM

What is your overall goal for hiding it though? Security through obscurity should never be relied on for protection. While it's good to deter attackers, you have to assume they'll find something like that and plan accordingly. Be ahead of them from the start.

WWalshy Not yet, we still have to figure out the best way to allow that.

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:18 AM

Hey Walshy. You said this a long time ago re deploy previews from repo forks for Pages connected via git for deployment.
One mitigation of this could be to allow direct upload method to work with projects created through the git integration. Documentation says that is currently not possible. This would require the people in control of the repo to make the decision about deploy previews, and they can approve any non org member as required to run a deploy (preview) action.
It's obviously going to create maintenance cost for the customer, but I'd rather that than have NO solution, which is where we are now.

For context, this hampers open source projects who want to host on CF but allow the community to contribute to website and docs.

I was under the impression direct upload works fine w/ Git projects

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:22 AM

@kiannh in which case, these docs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/direct-upload/#upload-methods
are out of date. Blue box.

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:23 AM

However, you cannot create deployments with Direct Uploads on a project that you created through Git integration on the dashboard. Only projects created with Direct Uploads can be updated with Direct Uploads.

kian•8/18/23, 9:23 AM

Owch - guess that doc hasn't been touched in awhile

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:23 AM

I'd put in a PR, but I'm not sure what you'd like it to say. I guess you could just remove the box...

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:24 AM

That page says update 13 days ago (Although I guess that might be the whole site?)

kian•8/18/23, 9:24 AM

The update 13 days ago was just changing some links

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:25 AM

ahhh ok.

kian•8/18/23, 9:25 AM

The July 2022 is when that blue aside was added

Relequestual•8/18/23, 9:25 AM

In which case, do you think a PR which removes that box and/or updates the same docs as I did last time (https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/pull/2880) would be appreciated? =]
