Notes

• All records are proxied through Cloudflare (orange cloud) — this enables DDoS protection, caching, and Zero Trust enforcement
• The arc subdomains are protected by Cloudflare Zero Trust Access — direct requests without a valid service token are rejected at the edge
• SSL certificates are automatically provisioned by Cloudflare for all subdomains
