Just bought a domain and can't get simple forwrading/redirecting to work
I just bought a domain on Cloudflare and I don't understand how to simply just redirect it to another URL.
I've set up page rules as well as redirect rules based on the help articles but it doesn't seem to work.
My domain is something like somename.org, and i want to redirect it to someothername.org (for example)
Usually this is pretty straightforward but is super complicated for some reason with Cloudflare.
I would highly appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction 🙏

It’s pretty easy actually
If you know where you have to look
You go to rules -> redirect rules
Create a rule and select all incoming traffic and just Keep the type and http code and enter
someothername.org
Like this
Hope this helps :)
Oh I think I switched the namens. In the url field you put in the domain you want the traffic to be redirected to
Thanks @SageSphinx63920 ! I added as you wrote and removed all other rules (i had some page rules), see screenshot, but getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN when trying to access it..
Any ideas?
That worked and what was missing @Erisa | Support Engineer thanks.
I would recommend though adding some faq, or improving documentation - super hard to both find, and then make the adjustments needed.
