I have been using CloudFlare to protect one of my WordPress blog.
Recently I moved to new VPS hosting provider. To make the migration smooth, I disabled ClourFlare for few days.
Only after disabling the clouflare I realized how many hackers are trying to break into root account.

ClourFlare and DNS Entries
After updating the Name Servers, I went to edit the DNS Entries at ClourFlare.
I made a note of the DNS Zone entries from cpanel, opened DNS Settings at CloudFlare to update them.
I was suprized to see eventhough ClouFlare was deactivated, it was smart to detect the new DNS entries. When I started typing the new IP, dropdown menu displayed new DNS entries – Awesome.
