Thanks again Max, where do you "assign my domains"?

Do you use the challenge page?

The challenge page, it only comes in when CF thinks a bad actor is trying to access your site. It gets its data from Project Honey Pot and is in fact, a product of Project Honey Pot.

I just use the default page, I didn't customize it. But, there's option to do so.

"assign the domain" means, CF will give you new nameservers to assign to your domain, through your host instead of the nameservers you have now.

Thanks max, I guess, I'll give it shot tomorrow.

It sounds a lot more confusing than it really is once you get going on it, trust me. Max is the man to go to for any advice.

And Boofo can now personally vouch for CF's effectiveness!

Max, Do I use my main domain to register with CF, or just the forum's subdomain?

i.e. mydomain.com or forum.mydomain.com

Thanks

Offhand I would advise use 'mydomain' then make sure all subdomains you want covered by CF are included in the DNS settings in CF.

Thanks again Max for your time.

I'm in the process now of setting it up and I'm at the point that it shows what will be protected/routed to them, and while the main domain and the forum domain have the orange cloud the actual NS (DNS) has the grey cloud. Did I screw something up?

You'll have the option of turning any of the grey clouds ON by clicking on them.

Thanks again Max. Ok, I finally got that step completed (CF said that the NS shouldn't be routed that way, KEEP grey clouds.

I have changed the DNS servers at IX, "wait 24 hours" When do I change the code in class_core?

When this "flips" will my site be down until I make that code change?

I went to the class_core.php file and (3.8.4 patch 1) it doesn't have those lines of code to replace
