One way we can resolve this is by moving to Cloudflare as a nameserver
Cloudflare supports root level CNAMEs
Right.
So this is where I'm at with that...
And on the sqarespace side.
Oh, awesome, if you already set your Squarespace domain up to use Cloudflare nameservers then you just need too wait for Cloudflare to finish processing ownership
In the meantime, you'd want to set your
www target to @ on Cloudflare
if you want your website to work on www as well then you can create another CNAME record with the target of www which points to your domainLet me look where I do this, "In the meantime, you'd want to set your www target to @ on Cloudflare"
exactly
How does does Cloudflare typically take?
after that, you'd also want to go and verify that your
SSL/TLS mode is set to Fullwhere is that?
I don't think it takes that long, but I can't really remember
you should see a list of options on the left
in that list there's a tab for
SSL/TLS, just click on thatOkay found it.
neat, just set it to
Full if it isn't set to that alreadyIt was defaulted.
is this like a 24hr hour thing?
Fantastic, now we just wait for Cloudflare!
After Cloudflare is done processing, everything should already be set up, although if you get stuck then feel free to open a new help thread
I don't think it always takes that long, but I can't really say how long it'll take
Fair, fair.
Thanks for ruber ducking.
Happy to help!
have you set cloudflare's nameservers in sqaurespace?
I don't know?
When I "curl -I www.loveforbon.com"
I get: date: Thu, 18 Jan 2024 21:06:05 GMT
server: railway
transfer-encoding: chunked
have you done this?
no.
you need to
just this.
ok
cloudflare has no way of controlling your domain's dns without you setting up those nameservers
Type NS does not seem to be an option in SquareSpace
it would be somewhere else
please refer to sqaurespace's docs on how to change your nameservers
perfect, whats domains do you have in railway?
Should be good?
.
screenshot of railway please
looks good, show a screenshot of cloudflare now please
thats not the random cname value railway gave you but it should work all the same
the target?
yeah, but dont worry about it, it should work the same
nevermind then lmao, that looked like something you had set
Ah okay. so I'm all good? Just wait.
youre good just a waiting game now
Thanks for your help!
I'm getting a new error when I try to load the site, "loveforbon.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH"
Any idea what might be wrong here...
Just need to wait a bit, that usually fixes itself
I'm getting this Clouldflare detected flag off and back on.
Can do.
I think something in my setup is still wrong.
Hello. I have same problem with connect my app to hosting
I change NS on my hosting, write CNAME on cloudFlare
https://prnt.sc/WqpW2MTp7OhU
end nothing changed.
What i do wrong?(
what is the domain status in railway
=
and what happens if you open the domain?
it's not my app. it's hosting template
DNS hasn't updated for you, please be patient
it's correct config?
@Brody
looks fine to me
ok. Will be wait
site loads fine, marking as solved
