#Enabling Cloudflare One on a subdomain registered on another registrar

Hello, I have a .it domain registered on a local italian registrar and would like to enable Cloudflare One on a specific subdomain - I am not allowed to transfer the domain or change the root NX records.

I did already setup a tunnel to my endpoint, which shows up as "Healthy".

I created a policy to allow specific emails within a fixed list.

In addition to all the above, assisted by AI which was repeating with full confidence that my desired setup was definitely possible on cloudflare, I did the following with respect to my domain:

  1. I started manual onboarding of my domain (note: the onboarding is only possible for the root domain);
  2. I chose to manually enter DNS records;
  3. On my local italian registrar, I created NX records for the subdomain, and pointed them to the cloudflare DNS servers;
  4. I created a CNAME record on the cloudflare "DNS Records" page for my domain, pointing the subdomain to the [UUID].cfargotunnel.com FQDN - the tunnel ID seems to be recognized correctly, and the tunnel name is shown in the "Content" column

Now, this setup is not working because I cannot create a self-hosted application with a public hostname, referencing my policy and using one-time pins as login method.

  • If I try to use the "default" input method on the GUI (for the self-hosted application), the root domain does not show up in the dropdown, probably because of its invalid state - more on this later;
  • If I try to use the "custom" input method, and provide the full FQDN of my subdomain, when I try to save, i get this error: Error configuring your application: Error: access.api.error.invalid_request: domain does not belong to zone;

Any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance

The setup is possible, it's called a "Subdomain setup" and requires a business plan

#

Without that, it's not possible.

Oh, thank you! and the setup with the root domain instead of the subdomain is possible with the free plan?

heady depot
#

yes

wide dew
#

excellent,... thank you

#

last question: is the "Pro" plan considered a business plan?

heady depot
#

no, the plan is literally called "Business"

#

otherwise I wouldn't have said business plan

ok sorry, I just found the doc:

right, it's called a partial CNAME setup…
