Switching from domain to subdomain
I have my server running, port forwarding enabled, and successfully got my domain to connect to that IP. The issue im having is switcing from my main domain i.e. mydomain.com to mc.mydomain.com.
Im using cloudflare to manage domain and dns settings.

You should not have it proxied, that means it publishes cloudflare's IPs not yours, cf free plan can only proxy websites. a SRV should look like this:
(Replace CNAME by A to your IP)...

How are you trying to make it a subdomain
I have mydomain.com as an A type pointed at 123.456.789 and have tried changing it to just mc.mydomain.com
and a SRV type with mydomain.space as its target
it currently works with this setup using mydomain.space
why is it proxied bruh
idk i know very little about this lmao

Okay sorry if im being big dumb. Am i supposed to have
1.
A Type: mydomain.space --> myip
CNAME: mc --> mydomain.space
SRV: targeting --> mc.mydomain.space
or
2.
A type: mc.mydomain.space --> myip
SRV file
