By default, Cloudflare for Teams excludes common top level domains used for local resolution from being sent to Gateway for processings. Excluded domains are listed on the Teams dashboard under Settings > Network > Local Domain Fallback . All domains in that list rely on the local DNS resolver configured for the device on its primary interface or the DNS server specified when you add a new local domain. Domains added to this list are not subject to Gateway DNS policies or DNS logging. The WARP Client proxies these requests directly to the configured fallback servers.
You can add or remove domains from the Local Domains list at any time.
On the Teams dashboard, navigate to Settings > Network.
Under Local Domain Fallback, click Manage.
On this page, you will find a list of domains Cloudflare for Teams excludes. You can customize this list to add or remove any items from it. All prefixes under the domain are subject to the local domain fallback rule (ex. all entries are interpreted as *.example.com)
Add a domain
On the Local Domains page, enter the domain, the DNS server(s) that should resolve that domain name and an optional description in the relevant fields. Then, click Add domain.
The domain will appear in the list of Local Domain entries.
Delete a domain
To remove a domain from the list, locate the domain and then click Delete.
