Cloudflare DNS Help (alien.top)

I’m struggling with this subject even after reading and videos. I’m trying to use nginx proxy to expose a handful of services to the public internet.

My domain is managed by Cloudflare and I believe I have Nginx setup properly with SSL api from cloudflare. Im struggling to understand the dns settings section of cloudflare.

Am I to make an A record with my domain and point it to my public IP? Then enable Cloudflare proxy service. Then a CNAME record would be the subdomain to whatever service I want and then setup properly in nginx proxy?

If I don’t have a static IP from my ISP is there a way to automatically update my dynamic IP in Cloudflare so I don’t loose access?

I’ve been trying to get this to work for the past two days now with very little success.

No worries, HMU if you need anything else but the docs are stellar and once you get your head around the concept and have a play I'm sure you'll find it just set and forget. GL.
