Wildcard proxy for everyone
Hannes Gerhart announced that Cloudflare is now giving everyone the ability to proxy DNS wildcard records, a feature previously only available to Enterprise customers. A wildcard DNS record uses an asterisk symbol "*" in the Name field to create one or multiple DNS records for all subdomains not specifically covered by another DNS record. Proxied wildcard DNS records allow HTTP/S requests sent to any subdomain covered by the proxied wildcard DNS record to be proxied by Cloudflare's network, ensuring traffic is routed through the closest Cloudflare data center. This feature is now available on all plan levels and can be easily enabled in the Cloudflare dashboard.
