Pages refuses to exist
# general-help
a
I connected my domain aetinx.lata.dev to my Cloudflare Page (aetinx-website.pages.dev) but it keeps returning
aetinx.lata.dev’s server IP address could not be found.
even when I try to remove and add the domain to the page.

This is likely because of local DNS cache on your computer - you probably visited the domain before the site existed and now your computer is "remembering" that it didn't exist. Try using an Incognito/Private window, another browser, or if those don't work, another device. You could also try searching how to clear your DNS cache manually (it's specific to your operating system and browser).

Other then DNS Cache, looks nice though

You could always just wait it out as well, good chance it'd only take 10-15 mins, or at the very least less then an hour

It may be you using your ISP's DNS Resolver, and some of them ignore cache ttls

c
click "Clear host cache" there as well, if you haven't already
If you head to chrome://settings/security?search=dns, under Advanced, turn on Secure DNS -> Other -> Cloudflare (im biased, you can pick another if you really want, CF is one of the fastest) You can get the benefits of encrypted queries, and not sending data to your ISP, and faster updates You might need to clear host cache again in chrome after that if you've looked it up recently

Does Windows have it's own system-level DNS cache?
I know Mac does
c
indeed, I think Chrome clears both, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's his ISP's resolver caching it
a
changing the server on my vpn fixes it lmfao
c
nice, a lot of VPNs force you to use their DNS to prevent dns leaks
