DNS Issue: Record fails to resolve (only) with NextDNS

We have a major issue interrupting the work of our team. Currently, NextDNS is not resolving the IPv4 and IPv6 address of our host git.cloutomate.de properly:

 

Expected behavior (works with all major DNS providers)

> dig git.cloutomate.de A @8.8.8.8

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> git.cloutomate.de A @8.8.8.8
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 25992
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:

;; QUESTION SECTION:

git.cloutomate.de.    300    IN    A    104.18.7.211
git.cloutomate.de.    300    IN    A    104.18.6.211

Actual behavior (for all users, IPv4 and IPv6 name servers, A and AAAA records):

> dig git.cloutomate.de A @45.90.28.206  ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> git.cloutomate.de A @45.90.28.206

    I believe the problem is NextDNS is trying to get the answer from the Authoritative Server, which cannot be found.

    I use this tool https://dnschecker.org/dns-record-validation.php

    All DNS resolution is normal

    I’m seeing the same as @bigdargon

    But then I also looked up what the cname was that returned. It appears to be a CloudFlare tunnel. Did you set this up yourself, have you even heard of it before? It seems it’s intercepting the DNS request and giving you the response you are seeing.
