I've been following the DNS instructions to setup @ (root) domains with CloudFlare since Stripe (Google Domains) does not support CNAME Flattening
https://docs.railway.com/networking/domains/working-with-domains#adding-a-root-domain
I've verified the DNS Records (green check marks for both records) and setup SSL/TLS in CloudFlare.
however, every time i navigate to visa-tools.net it shows the generic networking error.
recent request id: FVqMutduSMaUAkrwPvyhXg
can someone assist with checking/correcting settings in CloudFlare + Stripe?

I'm able to access both your root domain and www just fine. I'd try clearing your local DNS cache and/or accessing from an incognito window.

Your domain verification and SSL certificate are both valid, but our system shows the CNAME record for visa-tools.net is not currently pointing to the expected Railway target (xnmdjr3c.up.railway.app). In Cloudflare, confirm you have a CNAME record with Name @ and Target xnmdjr3c.up.railway.app with the orange proxy cloud enabled, and that your SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to Full (not "Full (Strict)" and not "Flexible"). Our Cloudflare configuration docs cover the required setup.

everytime i enter @, cloudflare automatically set the value to visa-tools.net. confirmed SSL/TLS Encryption mode is set to Full (not "Full (Strict)")

Your domain verification and SSL certificate are both valid, but our system's HTTP-based probe (which can see through Cloudflare's CNAME flattening) confirms the CNAME record is not routing to the expected target xnmdjr3c.up.railway.app. Cloudflare replacing @ with visa-tools.net in the Name field is normal behavior, so that part is fine. The issue is likely in the Target/Content field of that CNAME record - please double-check that it is set exactly to xnmdjr3c.up.railway.app, and also confirm there are no conflicting A or AAAA records for the root domain in your Cloudflare DNS settings, as those would take precedence over a CNAME.

Your Cloudflare configuration looks correct, and your domain verification and certificate are both valid. The fact that you're receiving a networking error with a request ID means traffic is reaching our infrastructure, so DNS is working. Your service is running on port 8080 - please confirm that the target port for your custom domain is set to 8080 in your service's networking settings (click the edit icon next to the domain to check or change it).

DNS probably still needs to propagate and may need to invalidate cache. Site works on in-congnito mode for browser.

hey, i can already access www.visa-tools.net , so dns has propagated and your setup is correct, just flush your local dns cache
on mac: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
on windows: ipconfig /flushdns
then try again in a normal browser window
