cloudflare single redirect

What we’re going to do: use Cloudflare to create a redirect from a request to wherever you want your link to go.

E.g. https://bnjmn.me/resume will lead visitors to https://rxresu.me/benjacoblee/webdev

(Using a URL shortener is probably much easier, but moving on…)

• In Cloudflare, choose your site.
• In the left-hand panel, click on “Rules”. In the expanded toggle, click on “Redirect Rules”.
• Click on the “Create Rule” button.
• In “Rule name (required)”, give it a descriptive name, e.g. “Redirect resume request on apex domain to file hosted on nginx”
• Choose “Custom filter expression”.
• “When incoming requests match…”
  • Field - choose “URI Full”
  • Operator - choose “equals”
  • Value - https://bnjmn.me/resume

Your expression preview should look like this:

(http.request.full_uri eq "https://bnjmn.me/resume")

• “Then…”
  • Type - choose “static”
  • URL - the redirect URL. Mine was https://rxresu.me/benjacoblee/webdev
  • Status code - 301

Save it, and everything should redirect as expected 🔥
