🔄 Custom Subdomain Forwarding with Cloudflare

🎯 What We're Building

🔄 How It Works

Note: This setup uses Cloudflare as a workaround since free Bento and Linktree plans don't support custom domains.

📝 Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Create DNS Records

1. Log in to your Cloudflare Dashboard

2. Select your domain: nikhilmishra.live

3. Go to DNS → Records

4. Add the following records:

For Bento Profile

Type:   CNAME
Name:   iam
Target: @
Proxy:  ✅ Enabled (Orange Cloud)

For Linktree Profile

Type:   CNAME
Name:   links
Target: @
Proxy:  ✅ Enabled (Orange Cloud)

2️⃣ Set Up Page Rules

1. Navigate to Rules → Page Rules

2. Create two page rules:

Bento Redirect

URL Pattern: https://iam.nikhilmishra.live/*
Forward to: https://bento.me/kaalpanikh
Status:     301 (Permanent Redirect)

Linktree Redirect

URL Pattern: https://links.nikhilmishra.live/*
Forward to: https://linktr.ee/kaalpanikh
Status:     301 (Permanent Redirect)

3️⃣ Verify Setup

After DNS propagation (usually 5-10 minutes):

1. Visit iam.nikhilmishra.live

   • Should redirect to your Bento profile.

2. Visit links.nikhilmishra.live

   • Should redirect to your Linktree profile.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

If redirects aren't working:

1. Check if Cloudflare proxy is enabled (orange cloud).

2. Verify page rules are in the correct order.

3. Clear your browser cache.

4. Wait a few more minutes for DNS propagation.
