# 🔄 Custom Subdomain Forwarding with Cloudflare
A simple guide to forward custom subdomains to free Bento and Linktree pages using Cloudflare.
## 🎯 What We're Building
| Subdomain | Forwards To |
|-----------|-------------|
| [iam.nikhilmishra.live](https://iam.nikhilmishra.live) | [bento.me/kaalpanikh](https://bento.me/kaalpanikh) |
| [links.nikhilmishra.live](https://links.nikhilmishra.live) | [linktr.ee/kaalpanikh](https://linktr.ee/kaalpanikh) |
## 🔄 How It Works

```
> **Note:** This setup uses Cloudflare as a workaround since free Bento and Linktree plans don't support custom domains.
## 📝 Step-by-Step Guide
### 1️⃣ Create DNS Records
1. Log in to your **Cloudflare Dashboard**
2. Select your domain: `nikhilmishra.live`
3. Go to **DNS** → **Records**
4. Add the following records:
#### For Bento Profile
```
Type: CNAME
Name: iam
Target: @
Proxy: ✅ Enabled (Orange Cloud)
```
#### For Linktree Profile
```
Type: CNAME
Name: links
Target: @
Proxy: ✅ Enabled (Orange Cloud)
```
### 2️⃣ Set Up Page Rules
1. Navigate to **Rules** → **Page Rules**
2. Create two page rules:
#### Bento Redirect
```
URL Pattern: https://iam.nikhilmishra.live/*
Forward to: https://bento.me/kaalpanikh
Status: 301 (Permanent Redirect)
```
#### Linktree Redirect
```
URL Pattern: https://links.nikhilmishra.live/*
Forward to: https://linktr.ee/kaalpanikh
Status: 301 (Permanent Redirect)
```
### 3️⃣ Verify Setup
After DNS propagation (usually 5-10 minutes):
1. Visit [iam.nikhilmishra.live](https://iam.nikhilmishra.live)
- Should redirect to your Bento profile
2. Visit [links.nikhilmishra.live](https://links.nikhilmishra.live)
- Should redirect to your Linktree profile
## ⚠️ Troubleshooting
If redirects aren't working:
1. Check if Cloudflare proxy is enabled (orange cloud)
2. Verify page rules are in the correct order
3. Clear your browser cache
4. Wait a few more minutes for DNS propagation
