Porkbun and Cloudflare

For security reason, it is suggested to separate the service registrar and DNS

That’s why I plan to do this :

• Porkbun as registrar
• Cloudflare as DNS with free plan

Porkbun initial config

After buying a domain from Porkbun, here is the initial config :

DNS Records

TYPE	HOST	ANSWER	TTL
ALIAS	<domain>	pixie.porkbun.com	600
CNAME	*.<domain>	pixie.porkbun.com	600

Nameservers

curitiba.ns.porkbun.com
fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com
maceio.ns.porkbun.com
salvador.ns.porkbun.com

Configure Cloudflare DNS

1. Create a Cloudflare account with free plan.
2. Add a domain, enter your domain and select the DNS records to keep.
3. Return to Porkbun, disable DNSSEC if enabled.

4. Replace the name servers with the ones provided by Cloudflare.

    kai.ns.cloudflare.com
    meadow.ns.cloudflare.com
   

5. Registrars take up to 24 hours to process nameserver changes (quicker in most cases). Cloudflare will send an email when your domain is active.
