3 Configure Nameservers

Complete all steps on Cloudflare, including changing your name servers on your registrar (namecheap etc) until you have added your site successfully and you see it has been accepted -- Note these nameservers may be different on your cloudflare account so do not copy the ones below.

4 Configure DNS Records

Click on the site and go to the DNS area, you can delete all the records that are in the box already if you are on a brand new domain

Under the DNS section add a CNAME record with the following settings:

Name: @

Target: mirror.downloadlocked.com
