How to create a custom connect domain for FiveM
In this tutorial we will explain how to get yourself a custom connect domain/ip like: play.example.com
- Create an account at Cloudflare
- Click on Buy domains
- Click on Register
- Enter a name for the domain, we are going to claim tutorialvibegames2
- Now click on Purchase at the domain of your liking, we are going to claim .win for this tutorial
- Select the duration, and click on Continue
- Now you will get a few fields you have to fill with personal information, once done go to the next step
- At the last field you are able to pay with PayPal or creditcard, for PayPal click on the PayPal button
- Then fill in your details again and click on Confirm
- Once done, head over to the DNS settings of your domain
- Now click on Add record and create an A record, the name should be play or something else and the IPv4 address should be the IP of your FiveM server without the port. Once done, click on Save
- Now we will create another record, click on the Add record button. Now add a new record with the following settings:
Type: SRV
Service: _cfx
Protocol: UDP
TTL: Auto
Priority: 1
Weight: 1
Port: The port of your FiveM server, in my case 3000
Target: play. YOURDOMAIN.COM, in my case play.tutorialvibegames2.win because we claimed tutorialvibegames2.win and in step 11 we decided to go with play.
Once again click on Save
