Add free subdomain from Freedns.afraid.org to Cloudflare
First of all, i'm nowhere near an expert (Never used cloudflare before).
I want to expose my application through a cloud flare reverse proxy. I want to use a free subdomain from freedns.afraid.org. How would i approach this, is this even possible? (From what i can see i can enter a NS entry for the subdomain in the FreeDNS web interface)
Thanks in advance

Is this for Pages, or for the proxy as a whole?
the proxy as a whole.
Looks like
afraid.org isn't on the public suffix list, so you would have to be on a paid plan(I think Business+) to be able to add it as a domainDoes Cloudflare offer free subdomains?
Yes, but only for Pages and Workers. You can't manually edit the DNS on them
or. The subdomain that i would use would be SUBDOMAIN.minetest.land. Free dns lists multiple
Looks like that one isn't on the PSL either
Would that be a problem? To be more specific i want to host a minetest server, would that work with the free tier?
No. You can only use Pages, you can't add your own servers to it
well, okay. Was worth a shot.
Thanks for your help and time!!!
Though I would advise watching out with those "free domain" services. A lot of them pull the rug on you if you use it too much, and there is never a guarantee that the domain just ceases to exist the next day
I've been using this service for the last couple of years. According to their website, they exist since 2001. Also the official minetest wiki, recommends them. Even if they pull the plug, its nothing critical. Thanks :MeowHeartCloudflare:
