wouldn't have anything to do with Cloudflare Pages either, but closer? I get redirected to x.com/gridchess, not sure what "does nothing" means

CChaika wouldn't have anything to do with Cloudflare Pages either, but closer? I get red...

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

oh it didn't do anything before

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

i guess had to wait for time to propogate

Chaika•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

probably dns cache

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

what is dnsdns related questions room

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

so i know where to ask next time

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

thanks

Chaika•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

general-help or general-discussions

Chaika•1/2/25, 3:19 PM

for all the rule types (redirect rules, bulk redirects), dns issues, etc

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:28 PM

i don't get why i get this

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:29 PM

not writing in general as there is context here

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:29 PM

its weird because sometimes the redirect works but often i get this dns_probedns_probe thing

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:29 PM

happens in safari/chrome

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:33 PM

perhaps something is off

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

not a cloudflare bug

CChaika probably dns cache

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

just this

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

is that cache on server?

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

You went to the site before the DNS was propagated which means the negative result is now cached

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

no, it's local (it could be your browser, your pc, your network or your isp)

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:41 PM

what is stale time on cache

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

that depends haha

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

it can vary from person to person

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

i assume this

record is not needed then?

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

i'd recommend trying on a different browser on a different network

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

I have one redirect rule that is simple

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

for some reason redirect is not enough and i need this?

Nnikiv.dev i assume this `A` record is not needed then?

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

it is needed, i don't know what that ip is but if you don't have a record it won't resolve (what you're seeing now)

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:42 PM

so i aadded it

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

why do I need

if i have redirect

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

browsers need to turn

example.com

example.com

-> <ip address><ip address> in order to route requests

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

also why do I need

AAAA

AAAA

, why is redirect alone not enough

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

so you need a DNS record for a browser to ever be able to hit Cloudflare

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

so so that

AAAA

AAAA

points to cloudflare?

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:43 PM

the

100::

100::

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

100:: itself is a discard address, it routes nowhere
but the record is proxied, so clients will see Cloudflare IPs

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

and yes, it'll route to Cloudflare

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

anything proxied will route to Cloudflare

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

it seems to have worked with just

AAAA

AAAA

be there

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

no need for

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

that

was claude and i feel it just hallucinated some ip address

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:44 PM

do you want your root to work?

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:45 PM

i assume you're going from www -> apex

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:45 PM

i just want to redirect all hits to my site to that static address

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:45 PM

so www.gridchess.com redirects

or

gridchess.com redirects

and anything past /

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:45 PM

any (sub)domain you want to do something needs a dns record

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:46 PM

again, that's how browsers and other clients know how to hit Cloudflare/your service/whatever

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:46 PM

don't need subdomain redirects

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:46 PM

just root

Nnikiv.dev I have one redirect rule that is simple

nikiv.devOP•1/2/25, 3:46 PM

i searched for redirect docs on cloudflare and tbh its unclear what exactly is needed aside from adding the redirect rule like i did here

Walshy•1/2/25, 3:46 PM

dns record + redirect rule

hey all I just added redirect rule but it does nothing I even did the `100::` `AAAA` record too
