The Cloudflare DNS Challenge is a method for Traefik to prove ownership of a domain to Let's Encrypt (or other ACME providers) without requiring HTTP challenges. It leverages DNS records managed by Cloudflare to automatically generate and update TXT records, satisfying the ACME challenge and obtaining SSL certificates.
