Have tried to fix this for 7 hours straight. I have attached a custom domain http://dudelaunch.com to my gitlab project but its just showing a 401 Unauthorized.
I don’t understand why its so difficult on Gitlab to add a custom domain. Project is being deployed without any error but when I go to access the domain its a 401.
Please advise.
Hi,
please ensure that your domain is verified first under Settings > Pages. Post a screenshot from there please.
The TXT record for verifying your custom domain seems not correct. You can verify this by yourself with
dig -4 dudelaunch.com any
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.

The TXT record itself contains the whole string for a TXT record which is not correct.
Please share a screenshot of your DNS provider.
If you want to attempt to change this yourself, ensure that you use key-value pairs like
_gitlab-pages-verification-code.dudelaunch.com
gitlab-pages-verification-code=a59bfdb697f33ea6c8286127ed54720b
Since the TTL of your zone is 3600s (1h) it may take a while being updated and then verified.
Cheers,
