Abuse Report
Hey there,
Under what conditions would the cloudflare abuse form not recognize a domain being hosted cloudflare?
We're trying to submit a domain for abuse but get this error:
A URL contains a domain that is not active on Cloudflare
However, we're clearly seeing from the dig requests it is pointing to cloudflare.

interesting, what happens when you go to the domain.tld/cdn-cgi/trace ?
got no result back
then its likely not proxied through cloudflare
but they are using it for DNS :3
want to knock the website offline for serving contraband
otherwise filing a CSAM is going to be very very VERY fun
anybody can point their dns records to cloudflare. that doesn't mean we actually serve anything on that name
if it's dns-only then select "registrar" as the abuse type
abuse handling is limited for dns-only zones though. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/content-2013-05-03-en is generally good advice
everything I'm seeing seems to indicate cloudflare is serving DNS?
dns != proxying
assufields suggestion is probably your best bet
Agreed that DNS != proxying. But the goal here is to knock the entire website offline via DNS.
No DNS == No routable domain
and le sigh w/ godaddy
they're probably the least responsive registrars i've worked with.
at least US based
yeah this is a bit of a reach for cloudflare abuse to engage with. I'm not saying they won't, but be ready for disappointment. you really need the registrar, the host, or law enforcement here
