Cloudflare DNS Setup and Troubleshooting Task List

1. Initial Cloudflare Setup

✅ Sign Up & Add Domain: Create a Cloudflare account and add your domain.

✅ Scan Existing DNS Records: Let Cloudflare automatically detect your existing DNS records.

✅ Update Nameservers: Replace your domain registrar’s nameservers with Cloudflare’s.

✅ Verify DNS Propagation: Use tools like DNS Checker to confirm nameserver updates.

2. Configuring DNS Records

✅ A Record: Ensure the root domain (@) and www are pointed to the correct IP.

✅ CNAME Records: Verify alias records for subdomains (e.g., blog.example.com).

✅ MX Records: Configure mail server records for email services.

✅ TXT Records: Add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for email authentication.

✅ NS Records: If using subdomain delegation, configure NS records properly.

✅ SRV Records: Set up service-specific records (e.g., VoIP, XMPP).
