### Other Information

This is my first time hosting so I really not know technical information in depth.  
So I am given an option to fill the record of A/AAAA/CNAME/NS  
But to host my domain in infinityfree I filled in NS. So far it works.  
To prevent this site get ddos which is bad for infinityfree and also me I wanted to add to cloudflare.

it seems like NS is not protected. What am I doing wrong? Should I change NS record to CNAME or something?
