Clearer errors for Cloudflare-proxied custom domains

May 27, 2026

If your custom domain's CNAME was proxied through Cloudflare (the orange cloud), Cloudflare answers DNS with its own edge IPs and hides the record Suga checks for. Verification would fail with a generic "CNAME not found" message, with no hint that the proxy was the cause.

Suga now detects when a record is being proxied through Cloudflare and tells you exactly what to fix: set the CNAME to "DNS only" (the gray cloud), then verify. No more guessing why an otherwise correct record won't validate.
