  Just host your own reverse proxy. It’s not hard

    Really? For DDOS and privacy protection?

    I know Cloudflare is indeed a growing issue. But I think it’s growing because it’s really difficult to self host/provide some of their services.

      Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either normal would I argue with the costs are worth it.

      Which ones? What for?

      Really the only service of such extreme convenience I can’t help but use it is cloudflare tunnels and their cheap asf domain registrars.

      Not sure what else you need.

        porkbun is an alternative to the cheap registrar.

        But I thought Cloudflare had great DDOS protection. And the comment I replied to says to just do it yourself.

        Why did you skip over that?

    They say it’s not hard when you know how. I don’t know how and even when I think I do it’s usually still difficult :)

    Currently using no-ip so friends can use a web address for game sever or get some files, instead of my every changing IP, for free.

      No-ip’s DDNS is relatively wonderful.

      Scammy in a sort of eastern european sleazy used car dealership way, I had to talk to their support once about a double charge and it felt like Roman from GTA IV was on the other side.

    I do both.

    I have Cloudflare pointing to my reverse proxy.

    Total pain to set up and had to hunt through a bunch of forums to get it to work.
