You can do something like this:

Basically, it boils down to using a reverse DNS lookup ([https://dnswatch.info](https://dnswatch.info) can do that), plug the IP address in there, get the corresponding hostname and setting up a CNAME record for that. Assuming the network operator set up their IP reverse correctly, that works just as well as an A record.

I have tried using a CNAME record but that doesn’t seem to work (maybe im doing it wrong, more detail would help).  
So I have have enabled Cloudflare but I have been waiting for hours for it to show a page.

So now im just waiting.
