do you think we should lock this thread ?
and possibly split this after the guide into its own thread to keep the guide clean ?

While locking this Topic/Thread would help with keeping the Topic/Thread clean, if in the future an edit needs to be made [If somebody spots that an edit is needed] it’s better to keep the Topic/Thread open then clutter the Topics section with (a) Topic(s) that ask that an edit be made.

This is a community guide, so anyone that has been on the forum long enough can edit it. We generally keep community guide topics open to allow users to ask related questions, ask for more details on a step, etc.
If a users posts an entirely new question and it creates a kinda-off-topic thread within a thread, we merge it away to a new topic.
If these posts begin to get too messy, the auto-close rules will be put in place, but as of now leaving them open seems to be working pretty well.

A post was split to a new topic: Domain Not Working
Thank you for this, very helpful. The recent threads about Cloudflare made me curious to try. Like the guide says, CF seems to do the records automatically. I just need to re-add the subdomains. I’m also surprised I did not need to do the SSL part. Maybe times has changed? It is still issued by Google but the date has changed. Thanks for your hard work.

Can this guide remove/disable ?i=1 on free hosting? I have a custom domain name on Cloudflare.
It no longer can, unfortunately.

it was a historical reason that the security system simply not working with cloudflare IPs, and it took ifastnet a few years to finally fix it, and both free subdomain and custom domain users are treated equally

Our own browser validation system initially did not work with Cloudflare, and so traffic from Cloudflare was granted an exception under the assumption that Cloudlflare provides adequate protection.
But it turns out that Cloudflare’s protection is not good enough and many attacks were punching right through. So the browser validation system was fixed so it could also work with Cloudflare.
So now we have effective protection for all websites.
