DNS only A record doesn't work with browser.

My domain appears to be preloaded in HSTS. https://hstspreload.org/?domain=netverse.dev So, when HSTS or “Automatic HTTPS Rewrites” is changed Cloudflare sends something to one of these entities that talks to the browser to turn it on and off? https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq#how-do-i-add-my-own-site-to-https-everywhere

DNS only A record doesn't work with browser.

SOLVED (but not really understood): I used Chrome's Developer Tools, Monitored Network and found status code 307 - "Internet Redirect" Now I have another DNS pointing to the same IP and it works, so something was being changed by Cloudflare. It turns out that if you don't have SSL/TLS cert in place yet, you have to turn off HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). BUT it was never enabled. I found on the same page: Automatic HTTPS Rewrites and it was enabled. The page is located under <domain name><SSL/TLS><Edge Certificates> Automatic HTTPS Rewrites I just don’t understand how DNS Only can be affected by HSTS or “Automatic HTTPS Rewrites”. AND, the IP address resolves to the nginx webserver not Cloudflare to do a proxy. Thanks everyone for your efforts and response.

Error getting domain name working.

So that's how you use diff domains per different repos.
