Does Squarespace work with Cloudflare?

The SS help file on Cloudflare says:

If you’re having trouble connecting your Cloudflare domain to your site:

• Ensure that your CNAME and A records aren’t using a Cloudflare proxy. The proxy status can interfere with the connection.

Doesn't this mean that Cloudflare then won't be doing its job??? I'm trying to set up geo-caching via Cloudflare, but it only works if the A records are proxied ...

thanks

ps sorry, I don't know if this is the right forum, none of the others seems to fit

Could you take screenshot of your DNS records on Cloudflare? I can successfully connect Cloudflare as DNS manager and connect my domain to Squarespace 

Check the dedicated article of Squarespace specific on Cloudflare https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/vendor-specific-records/#squarespace

1. In Cloudflare, add those records:
   • All A records should be Proxied
   • The CNAME record for www should also be Proxied.
   • The CNAME record for verify.squarespace.com should be DNS-only.

Folks from this topic also confirmed geo-restrictions worked

This question was answered: yes, Cloudflare works with Squarespace with a bit of finesse.
