The following is the setup on cloudfare: image

After these setup, the following error is displayed: image

Thank you for your efforts in advance.

Firstly, we do not explicitly support a top level naked domain. You would need an A record for that (your first CNAME in the picture would be for bumo.io.bumo.io, BTW) and point to our IP. That will work but we don't explicitly support it in case we want to move our IP address.

Secondly, I'm not seeing those records in DNS. It's possible this is a propagation issue and it will be resolved in time.

> dig www.bumo.io CNAME +short    # returns nothing

@davidfischer

Thank you David.

Now I changed it to as the following figure, does it work? image

Very odd but I'm still not seeing this DNS record

davidfischer commented 5 years ago

There must be some other problem with the setup here. These DNS records are not propagating at all.

Here's some info on using a naked root domain with Cloudflare: https://blog.cloudflare.com/zone-apex-naked-domain-root-domain-cname-supp/
