You should add an A-record for your domain[1] pointing to your website's server IP address on freenom's DNS management page.

This isn't DNS issue.

The browser error message shows that you are trying to access the site over HTTPS (not HTTP), and is displaying an SSL error. Have you set up a certificate for your custom domain, e.g. via Automated Certificate Management (ACM)?

Modern browsers often default to HTTPS, and it even looks like you have set up a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. You'll need a certificate to make that work. ACM, as noted above, is the simplest solution but it does require that you are using a paid dyno on Heroku.

You can also bring your own certificate if you prefer.
