I was honestly confused for a bit, then realised that your site was redirecting to Gitbook.

;; ANSWER SECTION: help.leavemealone.app. 0 IN CNAME help.leavemealone.com.

help.leavemealone.com. 0 IN CNAME leavemealone.helpkit.so.

leavemealone.helpkit.so. 0 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.

helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. 0 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.

helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 0 IN A 216.24.57.3

helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 0 IN A 216.24.57.253

Yes. DNS shows it should be redirecting to leavemealone.helpkit.so but it actually redirects to dinkydani.gitbook.io

[bauruine]

help.leavemealone.com. is a CNAME to leavemealone.helpkit.so which again is a CNAME to helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. and so forth till you get the A records. Your browser then connects to that IP and there you get the 302 redirect. I'm still not sure what I should see here.

EDIT: This is a CNAME chain and although it's not recommended it's valid https://serverfault.com/a/309660

[jivings]

The A records that you've gotten to are unrelated to Gitbook and there are no 302 redirects on our side. As far as I understand it's some internal redirect happening in Cloudflare's network.

Thanks for the explanation. I still don't know exactly what's going on here. How do the DNS records look on the Cloudflare UI?

[bauruine]

Then you have to ask helpkit.so why they are using render.com to do the redirect.

[jivings]

The request is never hitting HelpKit's servers.

[bauruine]

But it's hitting their DNS zone and they have decided to add a CNAME to helpkit-ssr.onrender.com for leavemealone.helpkit.so.

[jivings]

help.leavemealone.app -> CNAME -> help.leavemealone.com -> CNAME -> leavemealone.helpkit.so

Gitbook is nowhere in the chain
