Using Cloudflare DNS for Invision hosted forum

[dajustin]

I'd like to set up cloudflare to point my forum via DNS records instead of changing the nameservers how would I go about doing that?

Unfortunately, you cannot use CloudFlare and our Cloud on a root domain. The root domain will need to be directly connected to our Cloud by changing your nameservers. You can setup a sub-domain in your DNS which is hosted in CloudFlare but you will need to utilize the bypass mode in CloudFlare (e.g. make it a DNS hosted record only).

Ultimately, you're paying us to provide and manage for you an enterprise-level cloud environment which is fast, reliable, and secure, there is no need to add CloudFlare on top of it 🙂 . If there is a feature you're looking from CloudFlare, please ask and we can let you know if it's available.

After I setup a sub domain to my forums with bypass it does not work what could I be doing wrong?

You would need to contact our accounts team to help you setting up that subdomain on your account. This isnt something you can set up on your own. I have created a ticket for you, and we can go through what is required
