Question Sime Import for a Domain proxied through Cloudflare

Hello,

How can I do a Site Import via the IP instead of providing the source domain? The domain resolves to a cloudflare IP which prevents the site import.

Hi, @sefhah . What you can do is edit the /etc/hosts on the destination server and add the following entry to the bottom:

xx.xx.xx.xx example.com

Where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the source server. That will force the destination server to resolve the domain name directly on the defined IP address bypassing Cloudflare. Once the migration is completed, you need to remove the entry from the file. I hope that helps.
