They are just using Cloudflare's email routing to do what your registrar is doing
It seems like everything else is mostly the same except your alias approach has some downsides that the OP's maybe doesn't:
"Important: While these directions let you send emails from a custom email alias at your domain, email recipients can still find your personal Gmail address if they inspect the email headers. Emails from your alias are not digitally signed and are more likely to be flagged as spam."
- saagarjha 4y agoI know they aren't, they're trying to avoid doing that. I suggested another way they could. Based on what other people are saying, about how Cloudflare messes up the sender field for you, I feel like having a Gmail address in the headers might be better.
- weird-eye-issue 4y ago> about how Cloudflare messes up the sender field for you ... What? Cloudflare has nothing to do with the email sending so it doesn't mess up any sender fields. If you mean for receiving emails, the sender field has always been totally fine for me. I don't see anybody complaining about it, I think you are misunderstanding other comments

- weird-eye-issue 4y agoRight... That is from Gmail. Cloudflare has literally nothing to do with that... Also it's not even accurate, if you setup the alias correctly that doesn't happen
