Hi everyone, Today, I tried to configure a PTR record on DNS. I followed the instructions in the doc

Hi everyone,
Today, I tried to configure a PTR record on DNS.
I followed the instructions in the document (https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/additional-options/reverse-zones/).
However, when I ran the command nslookup -x 1.2.3.4 in the Windows command prompt, it returned the result as static.vnpt.vn instead of abc.com.
I suspect this is related to VNPT Telecom, but when I contacted their technical support, they told me they had no knowledge of this configuration and advised me to reach out to Cloudflare for assistance.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Please help me. Thanks!

Reverse zones and PTR records · Cloudflare DNS docs

If you control your own IP prefix(es), you can set up reverse zones with PTR records to allow reverse DNS lookups.

PTR records have to be created on the reverse zone (ex: <prefix>.in-addr.arpa<prefix>.in-addr.arpa), which requires you to control the entire prefix

Chaika•1/7/25, 4:27 PM

I'm guessing you don't control/own the prefix and are just trying to create one for an IP assigned to you from your ISP/Host?

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with DNS configuration. But as I understand it, my configuration should be 3.2.1.in-addr.arpa, right?

It won't work to create ptr records in the dns configuration for your website/abc.com.
If the IP is from your ISP or Host, you'd have to contact them about changing the Reverse DNS

Is there an aprox. time for how long I've to wait for reply from the Billings Support?

Peps•1/7/25, 7:23 PM

not really

Peps•1/7/25, 7:23 PM

It depends on a case by case basis

Kasumi•1/7/25, 7:23 PM

I mean even I set the Priority to low because it doesnt affect me. I make profit out of it but CloudFlare not

I assume there's just way too many issues

! GODDESSTEX•1/8/25, 8:44 AM

im more confused than before

! GODDESSTEX•1/8/25, 8:45 AM

mm maybe there's other server more dumb friendly?

! GODDESSTEX•1/8/25, 8:45 AM

cause i have no idea what am i doing

Idle•1/8/25, 8:46 AM

this is an official server for people to ask for help, not sure where else you'd go

Idle•1/8/25, 8:47 AM

maybe the community?

! GODDESSTEX•1/8/25, 8:48 AM

i deleted the image

Idle•1/8/25, 8:48 AM

well that's kind of self explanatory, whatever ip you set in your dns records is not one that can be used like that

Idle•1/8/25, 8:49 AM

maybe make a post in #general-help, or check with whoever told you to put that IP in your record

! GODDESSTEX•1/8/25, 8:49 AM

its been a whole afternoon looking for my ip

i have no idea where they are

!! GODDESSTEX its been a whole afternoon looking for my ip 😂 i have no idea where they are

Hello, I am in a difficult situation.

I took over IT for a client. As the final step in the process, in the Google Admin Portal, I reset the password for the admin account.
This is the same account I've made hundreds of connections with in the last several weeks - Google has my IP and access history.

Now, I'm locked out - I cannot use the password I changed. Google wants a recovery code or 2FA. The 2FA is not on the IT phone given to me by the company and receiving messages is not an option.

I began trying to verify the domain with google, which needs cloudflare access. Cloudflare login needs a 2FA which - again - is unavailable.

I am in contact with the business owner who is willing to provide all necessary information - billing records, photo id, etc.

How can I talk to a PERSON at either of these companies?

I tried Google's chat feature and the site has an error when I submit the form.

I tried a Cloudflare phone number and it only told me to sign in.

These links may help, but they only work when logged out. You can always use an Incognito Window or a Private Window to ensure you're logged out.

second link lets you open an email ticket for a variety of cases, even if you cant access the email address

Erisa•1/8/25, 8:10 PM

not sure how much they could do in that situation but its worth a shot, google probably can do more but this isnt the right place to ask questions about contacting google nor do i have any idea how one would

thank you, I opened a ticket there.

qp•1/8/25, 8:23 PM

Is there a contact phone number that lets me talk with an agent?

Erisa•1/8/25, 8:24 PM

no, not unless you have an enterprise plan

Erisa•1/8/25, 8:24 PM

the number on the website is a sales line which would just be a waste of time for this

EErisa no, not unless you have an enterprise plan

qp•1/8/25, 9:29 PM

I don't know what plan we have - I've taken over for IT. Is there a publicly available number?

Erisa•1/8/25, 9:31 PM

no, the number you could call with an enterprise plan isnt publicly listed

Erisa•1/8/25, 9:32 PM

you need to login to view it

Erisa•1/8/25, 9:32 PM

or it would have also been sent to the person that setup the enterprise account, over email

Erisa•1/8/25, 9:32 PM

neither of which are much help in this case
