https://pyscaffold.org's DNS is misconfigured

[webknjaz]

This is causing problems with the link checkers, besides being inaccessible: https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/actions/runs/9750566682/job/26910254850?pr=1569

Aha.. So it's backed by RTD! And there was a successful build today even: https://app.readthedocs.org/projects/pyscaffold/builds/?version__slug=&state=succeeded&version__type=.

[webknjaz]

I know that CloudFlare doesn't like it when a domain for a website hosted on RTD is put in DNS proxy mode. That's probably what's happened.

Yep, that's it! The A-records point to CloudFlare CDN:

@abravalheri @FlorianWilhelm I assume one of you has access to CF? The fix is to click on that cloud icon next to the @ and www A-records and this should get back to normal.

[sgbaird]

Any update here? Still seeing:

Thanks! This is helpful! Hope the maintainers can take a look at the PR you raised and resolve it.

Apparently, it's working again.
