    @ means the root domain name like example.com, and not only at CloudFlair, but everywhere in DNS.

    Thanks! I have this on cloudflare (followed the first thread above). I think I get the dynamic "tag". But if I wanted to use @, what would I do? Thank you!

    Type Name Content

    A

    dynamic <WAN IP>

    CNAME

    mydomain.com dynamic.mydomain.com

    CNAME

    ombi dynamic.mydomain.com

    CNAME

    www dynamic.mydomain.com

    You don't use @.  You could use @ as a replacement for "mydomain.com" in the first CNAME record, but why should you?  Simply go ahead!  What are you missing?  What does not work?

    Btw, the domain name for exemplary use is example.com/org/net.  The domain mydomain.com is real and being used.  Don't use it as example!

    example.com <WAN IP>
         

    CNAME

    ombi example.com

    CNAME

    www example.com

    So, and what does still not work you want to make work?  Can't you update your hostname at CloudFlare?

    Ah ok, this was not clear.  So you just asked for the meaning of @.
