Notes for Cloudflare DNS users
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to a limitation between |org_brand| and Cloudflare,
a domain cannot be proxied on Cloudflare to another Cloudflare account that also proxies.
You will see a "CNAME Cross-User Banned" error in your Cloudflare dashboard
and a ``requested hostname resolves to a Cloudflare zone that is not owned by you`` error in the Read the Docs dashboard.
In order to do SSL termination, we must proxy this connection.
If you don't want us to do SSL termination for your domain —
**which means you are responsible for the SSL certificate** —
then set your CNAME to ``cloudflare-to-cloudflare.readthedocs.io`` instead of ``readthedocs.io``.
For more details, see `this previous issue`_.
