Does Discourse allow the use of alternate domain names?

The domain name I configured in

app. yml

seems to have been blocked by the ISP of some regions.
And when I attempt to directly resolve the new domain name (A record) to the website ,accessing the new domain still redirects to the old domain.
So could i use another domin to connect my website? What should i do in app.yml?

Are you totally sure about blocking? Because if this is a new setup it can take from hours to day before new DNS records are spread all over the world.

Yes, it takes me a whole day to confirm.

Red Chinese word means “timeout”
I thought it’s just the error of CDN before.
But after changing CDN to CF(CLOUDFLARE), the red warning still hasn’t disappeared. And just in JiangSu province.

Also, are you using Cloudflare’s preferred DNS? If convenient, we can discuss it in detail on the website’s post.

I want to use two domain names to point to the same site at the same time because the earliest domain name has been blacklisted by the local operator, but Discourse does not seem to support this and can only be accessed through a domain name plus port 80/443.

可以通过更换域名并将旧域名重定向到新域名来实现。如果你不介意的话,我们可以在前面提到的帖子中讨论。Discourse 社区的管理员不太支持在帖子中完全用中文交流。
