Apex domain as custom domain not working even though my zone is a Cloudflare zone
I have the following pages which works right now:
https://ibd-guide.pages.dev/
I added the custom domain ibd.guide
which I purchased from Porkbun but use Cloudflare nameservers. It created a CNAME record for @ to point to ibd-guide.pages.dev
but the custom domains page says Inactive (Error)
and https://ibd.guide
can't be found.
I've tried it with the proxy enabled and disabled. My zone's SSL/TLS is set to Full (strict).
In DNS > Settings > DNSSec, it says: Success! ibd.guide is protected with DNSSEC.
I feel like I've done everything right. What's wrong?![No description](https://cdn.answeroverflow.com/1249765508232908810/image.png)

"can't be found" is just DNS Cache
well shoot.
yea, you tried to visit it before the dns record was propogated and now have local/resolver cache
Thank you so much, Chaika. I guess this is resolved now! My next question is out of scope, but do you know? I am trying to clear DNS cache in Firefox in macOS but it's not working. I go to
about:networking#dns
and click Clear DNS Cache but nothing happens.
I open a new tab, and my domain still gets the same error![No description](https://cdn.answeroverflow.com/1249766735276544112/image.png)
This is wild. I even did "forget about this site" and it's still not working

solved. It's NextDNS blocking it for some reason

Thanks a lot!
because of new domain or something? weird
"Newly registered domain"
makes sense
I whitelisted it, and it works locally in FF now
