Is anyone else having issues with Cloudflare access? I’ve been using it for quite a while now with my android HA app without issues but for the last couple of days it just doesn’t work, I’ve looked at my cloudflare setup and it looks OK.
Same here since today

No problems here with any of my tunnels.
Hmmm, I’m at a loss on how best to diagnose the issue really, it could be the domain I used or cloudflare, I don’t know, anyone any suggestions on how I could diagnose the issue?
I’d start by checking the logs for:
- Home Assistant (Core) in case the IP you provided in
http:needs to be a subnet - Your Cloudflared add-on

Well that’s strange, I got my domain from freenom but when I log in they have no record of that domain in my account, maybe it ran out??
Yes, Freenom stopped their free domains due to abuse - the working theory is that they were banned by the owner of the TLD.
Existing domains continued to work until the registration expired.

DOH that’s the answer then, just found out that by using WHOIS, need to get a new domain setup I suppose 
Cloudflare sells domains at cost, plus you use them already

I created a new domain with 123-reg as I already have a couple of domains with them, I reconfigured Cloudflare (it shows as active) and updated the addon settings and restarted HA but still not accessible, does it take some time for the edited nameservers at 123-reg to come online?
Yes, the DNS TTL value defines how long the old value may be cached for, and the default is often 24 hours.
Of course, your starting point is to check all the steps in the chain.
Start by dropping the hostname into https://hexillion.com/ and see what that shows for the domains name servers, and what the DNS records show.

Well that was a bit of a slog, there were issues with already having a tunnel for the previous domain and that took a bit of sorting out but a few un-installs adn re-installs of the cloudflare addon sorted it out in the end.
Thanks for the help and pointers
