porkbun domain + cloudflare pages

Hi, I have a domain on porkbun (only domain) and I use cloudflare pages. Is there a way that it can work together? I tried to follow the instructions: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/configuration/custom-domains/ - But I guess that results automatically in a error 1000 (because cloudflare dns points to cloudflare servers)? ๐Ÿ™‚

When deploying your Pages project, you may wish to point custom domains (or subdomains) to your site.

You can add subdomains to domains using external nameservers, you added one and it didn't work? or? You need to add it in the pages project under Custom Domains, not just create the cname

yes and it says I have to transfer my DNS to cloudflare. I don't see any option to configure external nameservers for my cloudflare pages page.

sounds like you're trying to add an apex (example.com) and not a subdomain (www.example.com)? Porkbun nameservers are actually just CF under the hood but don't think that would interfere with this

ah yes. I have to use a subdomain, then I can choose between cloudflare dns and 3rd party dns. thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚
