Help with simple domain name redirection registers
Since aparently you can't reidrect a non cloudflare managed domain to a cloudflare managed domain, I added cloudflare for my domain
Using cloudflare's DNS registers for -, how can I redirect this domain so that it points to my domain when accessed through a browser, and a Minecraft server IP when accessed ingame?
Essentially, the root IP would be used as both a redirected website address, and an ingame server IP. Preferably without the use of any subdomains.
