Wildcard worker route not working, no errors in panel
I'm trying to create a route to my worker, it's a basic script that just returns the url you are accessing it at.
In the panel, under my worker, I have a custom domain set as example.mysite.com, and a route for *.example.mysite.com, with the zone of mysite.com
Visiting the custom domain works as expected, but trying to visit the custom route results in no page loading, as if there is no dns record set for it.
Am I misinterpreting how routes work here?

So the wildcard I have set is a route. Routes are like custom domains in the sense that I should be able to access the worker from the web?
I tried setting an alternate subdomain (non wildcard) as a route, and it doesn't work. Does this mean I forgot to set some dns records for it that the panel doesn't do automatically?
Oh I may have slightly misread but yes if you have a Route then you need to add a DNS record as well. An AAAA record pointing to 100:: is a popular dummy record if you have no origin server to fall through to
Yes that works!! Thank you so much
