Custom domain configuration with Cloudflare DNS

Anvil Q&A

What I’m trying to do: Connect a custom sub-domain with a paid Anvil account using Cloudflare DNS. (I have tested with a non-cloudflare DNS provider and seem to get this working quickly and easily on another Anvil App).

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
I have waited more than 48hrs for DNS propagation, but still receive the following error when attempting to browse to sub-domain:

It is unclear where I should be using the “proxied” vs “DNS Only” option on cloud flare.

Hi @warrene,

Just to confirm, we sent an email a few days ago when you configured that app, noting that the DNS wasn’t configured yet and asking you to confirm with us when it was so we could kick the system to generate a certificate for you. Now it appears that your domain is configured just fine, I’ve delivered the appropriate kick, and your domain is now online :+1:
