DNS and Cloudflare

We are using Enhance Controlpanel.

The Cloudflare integration is in BETA. This means the tool has been thoroughly tested but you may stumble across obscurities. Please report any unusual behaviour to us.

Enhance's Cloudflare integration allows you to synchronise your domain's DNS with Cloudflare. Every change made in the Enhance zone will automatically sync with CloudFlare, changes in CloudFlare will not sync with Enhance.

Adding Cloudflare to an Webpackage

To connect a Cloudflare account to Enhance, you will need to generate an API token using Cloudflare's default DNS template. You can do this by visiting
https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens

To add a Cloudflare account to your Webpackage:

  1. Open Integrations in the left side bar
  2. On the Cloudflare card click Add
  3. When the modal loads enter a Friendly name and your Cloudflare API token
  4. Click Save to finish

Adding Cloudflare to a domain

Connecting Cloudflare to a domain in your Enhance account will automatically sync all existing records in your Cloudflare account with the DNS records set in your Enhance account.

To connect Cloudflare with a domain in your account:

  1. Click Manage on the domain you would like to connect
  2. At the top of the screen, beneath your domain you will see a Cloudflare selector. In the drop down select the token you would like to link.
  3. If the domain exists in you Cloudflare account, Enhance will connect it and replace any records. If the domain - doesn't not exist we will create it.

Warning

A Cloudflare API token can not be connected to staging domains. We recommend using the Enhance DNS for staging domains as all record will automatically be set.

To use Cloudflare, you need to point the nameservers for your domain to Cloudflare's. You can change your nameserver where you have registered you domain.

DNS settings

The proxy status of a DNS record affects how Cloudflare treats incoming traffic for that record.

To disable/enable Cloudflare's proxy on a DNS record:

  1. Visit Domains and navigate to the 'DNS records' card
  2. On the relevant record, select Edit in the menu
  3. Toggle Proxy status
  4. Click Save to finish
