# So WAF needs to be temporarily disabled in order to update DNS records.
In your GoDaddy account main dashboard page...

2. Click "Manage" next to "Website Security and Backups"
3. Click "Details" under "Firewall"
4. Wait for Godaddy security theater to finish (secure looking progress bar thing)
5. Click "Settings" upper right
6. Click "Firewall Status" left nav, last item in the list
7. Select Disable
8. Click the "Save" button
# Turn On Godaddy WAF
