    Anyone use cloudflare page rules before for the sole purpose of domain redirecting?

    Can it redirect domain.com to new-domain.net?

    Or domain.com/* to new-domain.net/*
    Keeping in mind that "*" is a substitute for whatever pages of the domain like domain.com/test.php?

    @rdan Do I need to set up any DNS records in Cloudflare? The page rule isn't working and the domain just goes to a browser page saying the site cannot be reached.

    This site can’t be reached
    domain.com’s server IP address could not be found.

    DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

    DNS must be setup, Cloudflare or outside.

    The domain is pointing to Cloudflare's nameservers but I don't have anything on the DNS page in Cloudflare.

    To point to what?

    Basically I don't have a server for this domain. I wanted to know if I could redirect through Cloudflare alone.

    Yes you can, just use any random IP, and be sure to enable Cloudflare Orange cloud, page rule should work.

    I am doing this with many domains in Cloudflare.

    Just add a single DNS record with '@' as the name and then point it to an un-routable IP address (so you know it will never resolve to another site in case you misconfigure something in the future). I use 192.0.2.1. Then activate the page rule that rdan shared above, and you are all set. :)
