Nfor some reason redirect is not enough and i need this?
Wit 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)
Nso i aadded it
Nwhy do I need
Abrowsers need to turn
example.com<ip address> in order to route requestsNalso why do I need
AAAAso you need a DNS record for a browser to ever be able to hit Cloudflare
Nso so that
AAAAthe
100::100:: itself is a discard address, it routes nowhere
but the record is proxied, so clients will see Cloudflare IPs
but the record is proxied, so clients will see Cloudflare IPs
Wand yes, it'll route to Cloudflare
Wanything proxied will route to Cloudflare
Nit seems to have worked with just
AAAAno need for
Athat
Ado you want your root to work?
Wi assume you're going from www -> apex
Ni just want to redirect all hits to my site to that static address
Nso www.gridchess.com redirects
or
gridchess.com redirects
and anything past /
or
gridchess.com redirects
and anything past /
Wany (sub)domain you want to do something needs a dns record
Wagain, that's how browsers and other clients know how to hit Cloudflare/your service/whatever
Ndon't need subdomain redirects
Njust root
Ni searched for redirect docs on cloudflare and tbh its unclear what exactly is needed aside from adding the redirect rule like i did here
Wdns record + redirect rule
Wall that's needed
Nthe
100::or
Aand if
Ayour A and AAAA are different domains
Wthe A is for apex and the AAAA is for www
Nohh
N
Nso this is what i want
Wif you want it to just redirect yeah
Nso both
www.regular domains redirect?Wchange type -> AAAA
N
W^
Ni already have
AAAAfor the apex
Wthe one you're editing
N
WA = IPv4 record
AAAA = IPv6 record
100:: == IPv6 address
AAAA = IPv6 record
100:: == IPv6 address
Nok going to note
100::thank you
Nmakes more sense now
Ni do think that maybe cloudflare should propose to create these records for users
Nwhen you make redirect rules
