Gateway DNS records
Once you create a gateway, Cloudflare automatically creates and adds records to your Cloudflare DNS so your gateway can receive and route traffic appropriately:
- Ethereum gateways: Creates a proxied
CNAME
record pointing your hostname toethereum.cloudflare.com
. - IPFS gateways: Creates a proxied
CNAME
record pointing your hostname toipfs.cloudflare.com
and aTXT
record with the value specified for its DNSLink.
These records cannot be edited within Cloudflare DNS. To make edits, you will have to edit the gateway configuration itself.
When you create a gateway using a hostname with pre-existing DNS records, Cloudflare automatically overwrites your existing records to make them apply to your Web3 gateway.
