I am having the same issue… I’m using Cloudflare. On my hosting account, Siteground, I setup a new Sub Domain, online.newhavenhappenings. I created an SSL cert for that subdomain.  
I proceeded to Cloudflare and changed the settings as provided by Glideapp.

host

\_glideauthid.online TXT 9xskfYZGrQ9RFkdhPHWS

online CNAME [custom.glideapps.com](http://custom.glideapps.com)

I cannot get the CNAME to verify. Only the TXT.

Can someone help…

Hey Matt, for me, I had the Proxy enabled. Uncheck proxy. That should work

Same issue. I will try disable Proxy, thanks for sharing.

Just wondering though if disabling Proxies makes our CNAME publicly visible on DNS Whois searches?
