Hi, I have choosen clouflare as my dns provider, I want to deploy my website on vercel. I added the A and CNAME records. My domain is sickrate.com , when I added the A record, sickrate.com was verified on vercel and now I can visit that but www.sickrate.com shows invalid configuration.

I have turned off cloudflare proxy and also have the SSL/TLS encryption mode set to Full (strict)

I already checked out the vercel cloudflare integration guide but it doesn't help in my case : https://vercel.com/docs/integrations/external-platforms/cloudflare

Can somebody please help me out with this issue.

Hi @krishgohil. You should switch the SSL/TLS encryption mode to **Full** instead of **Full (strict)** to match the recommended configuration from the [Vercel and Cloudflare Integration](https://vercel.com/docs/integrations/external-platforms/cloudflare#vercel-and-cloudflare-integration) doc. 

I also noticed the the [www.sickrate.com CNAME record](https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/www.sickrate.com) doesn't seem to exist at the moment. If it's still not working after you update the SSL/TLS encryption mode, then you may need to contact Cloudflare for help determining why the record is missing.

Hey, thanks, I actually had another record with the name "www" and a few others records pointing to a different domain hence it was not working. Now its fixed and works fine.
