Cloudflare Error 1034: Edge IP Restricted
Error 1034 occurs when DNS resolves to a Cloudflare IP address that is restricted or not properly assigned to the requesting zone. This can happen when a domain's DNS records directly use Cloudflare edge IPs rather than origin server IPs, or when a zone is configured in a way that conflicts with Cloudflare's IP allocation. It is similar to error 1000 but specific to edge IP restrictions.

<h1>Error 1034: Edge IP restricted</h1>
<p>The DNS record for this domain resolves to a Cloudflare edge IP that is not allowed for this zone. Please update your DNS records to point to your origin server.</p>

</html>How to Troubleshoot
Check your DNS records
Verify that your A/AAAA records point to your origin server's IP, not to a Cloudflare IP. Your origin IP comes from your hosting provider.
Check DNS RecordsUpdate stale DNS entries
If you previously copied a resolved Cloudflare IP into your DNS, replace it with your actual origin server IP.
Contact Cloudflare support
If your DNS is correct and you still see this error, contact Cloudflare support — there may be an IP allocation issue on their side.
Common Causes
DNS record uses a Cloudflare edge IP directly
highAn A record was set to a Cloudflare IP address (found by resolving a proxied hostname) instead of the actual origin server IP. This creates a routing conflict.
IP address no longer assigned to the zone
mediumCloudflare rotated edge IPs and the domain's cached or hardcoded IP no longer matches its zone assignment.
Zone migration or plan change
lowAfter migrating the domain between Cloudflare accounts or changing plans, the edge IP allocation changed.
Quick Diagnostics
Related Error Codes
DNS Points to Prohibited IP
A DNS record points to an IP address that Cloudflare has blocked for policy or security reasons.
Direct IP Access Not Allowed
A visitor tried to access a Cloudflare IP address directly instead of using a domain name.
Origin Is Unreachable
Cloudflare cannot reach the origin server because DNS resolution failed or the origin IP is unreachable.
