Cloudflare DNS Help (alien.top)

I’m struggling with this subject even after reading and videos. I’m trying to use nginx proxy to expose a handful of services to the public internet.

My domain is managed by Cloudflare and I believe I have Nginx setup properly with SSL api from cloudflare. Im struggling to understand the dns settings section of cloudflare.

Am I to make an A record with my domain and point it to my public IP? Then enable Cloudflare proxy service. Then a CNAME record would be the subdomain to whatever service I want and then setup properly in nginx proxy?

If I don’t have a static IP from my ISP is there a way to automatically update my dynamic IP in Cloudflare so I don’t loose access?

I’ve been trying to get this to work for the past two days now with very little success.
