How to adjust DNS Domain Freenom

Edit Record at Freenom

First of all, Freenom’s DNS is quite bad, sometimes when you finish editing but the IP still hasn’t pointed to the VPS, you should switch to Cloudflare’s DNS to act as an intermediary (see instructions below)

Step 1: Select Services -> My Domains

Select Services -> My Domains

Step 2: Now we will go to the domain management step in Freenom, select Manage Domain

select Manage Domain

Step 3: Select Manage Freenom DNS

Step 4: Enter the IP information of the VPS to point the Domain to

Name: enter your Domain, as in the example above is freewp-test.tk

Target: IP VPS

Select Add record:

  • Type: A
  • Name: @
  • IPv4: is the IP of the VPS
  • Proxy status: If used to Hack Data 4G, the yellow cloud should be turned off, and the normal web for Website should be turned on to cover the real IP, avoiding the DDOS taste.
