You can see this yourself by running a "dig" against help.leavemealone.app, the DNS resolution and where the domain actually routes to is different.

  I was honestly confused for a bit, then realised that your site was redirecting to Gitbook. ;; ANSWER SECTION: help.leavemealone.app. 0 IN CNAME help.leavemealone.com. help.leavemealone.com. 0 IN CNAME leavemealone.helpkit.so. leavemealone.helpkit.so. 0 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. 0 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 0 IN A 216.24.57.3 helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 0 IN A 216.24.57.253

    Yes. DNS shows it should be redirecting to leavemealone.helpkit.so but it actually redirects to dinkydani.gitbook.io

      help.leavemealone.com. is a CNAME to leavemealone.helpkit.so which again is a CNAME to helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. and so forth till you get the A records. Your browser then connects to that IP and there you get the 302 redirect. I'm still not sure what I should see here. EDIT: This is a CNAME chain and although it's not recommended it's valid https://serverfault.com/a/309660 https://serverfault.com/a/309660

        The A records that you've gotten to are unrelated to Gitbook and there are no 302 redirects on our side. As far as I understand it's some internal redirect happening in Cloudflare's network.

          Thanks for the explanation. I still don't know exactly what's going on here. How do the DNS records look on the Cloudflare UI?
          • jivings 4y ago
            help.leavemealone.app -> CNAME -> help.leavemealone.com -> CNAME -> leavemealone.helpkit.so Gitbook is nowhere in the chain

            Then you have to ask helpkit.so why they are using render.com to do the redirect.
            • jivings 4y ago
              The request is never hitting HelpKit's servers.
            • bauruine 4y ago
              But it's hitting their DNS zone and they have decided to add a CNAME to helpkit-ssr.onrender.com for leavemealone.helpkit.so.

  The domains resolves to an IP announced by AS397273 (https://render.com/ https://render.com/) the web server at this IP returns a 302 redirect to https://dinkydani.gitbook.io/leave-me-alone-help/ https://dinkydani.gitbook.io/leave-me-alone-help/. What exactly can I see here?
  • jivings 4y ago
    Try doing a curl on the domain that's returned by the CNAME and comparing it to a curl on the original URL. I agree it makes no sense so I don't blame you for assuming it's nonsense. There's a redirect happening somewhere but it ain't from the web server listed on the DNS record.

  I agree with @aussiedude that I don't see anything suspicious. Authorative A records: # help.leavemealone.app help.leavemealone.app. 60 IN CNAME help.leavemealone.com. # help.leavemealone.com help.leavemealone.com. 30 IN CNAME leavemealone.helpkit.so. # leavemealone.helpkit.so leavemealone.helpkit.so. 1799 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. # helpkit-ssr.onrender.com helpkit-ssr.onrender.com. 300 IN CNAME helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. # Authorative A records for helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net: helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 300 IN A 216.24.57.3 helpkit-ssr.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. 300 IN A 216.24.57.253 -- Indeed opening the page loads 216.24.57.3 where I get a HTTPS response with statusCode 302 that redirects to -> https://dinkydani.gitbook.io/leave-me-alone-help/ https://dinkydani.gitbook.io/leave-me-alone-help/ Seems to be what should happen? ps - I'm stunned though to see 4 CNAMEs, especially with 60 and 30s TTLs
