So I have only one IP adress.
It has an A record for the root "mydomain.com"
and CNAMES for each service I run. eg jellyfin.mydomain.com, nextcloud.mydomain.com
Is it OK to proxy the A record for root domain and any other CNAMES I want as long as I dont proxy the jelllyfin CNAME? But isnt the jellyfin CNAME pointing to that root domain? This is the bit I dont really understand.
Or because "jellyfin" CNAME is pointing to root domain, I also HAVE to UN-proxy the root "mydomain.com" A Record?
In cloudflare when I mix and match proxied and unproxied records it gives me the warning triangle saying that some records can expose the IP of others.
I clearly dont really understand what happens in and around DNS servers in terms of records, traffic and requests
