Redirecting www to root

Hi.

(1) I'm setting up a blog which suggests setting a root CNAME - https://docs.bearblog.dev/custom-domains/

(2) The docs linked above also say - "If you are using Cloudflare, ensure the proxy (the orange cloud) is turned off."

(3) Above steps are fine to set everything up - but if I want to create a page rule to redirect all www.example.com traffic to the root example.com I believe the domain needs to have Cloudflares proxy turned on / enabled which confilcts with what the docs say in (2) above.

(4) Any suggestions for setting up the blog on the root of domain and turning the proxy off - but still being able to send everything www to the root?

Thanks!
