Comment on What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?

I’m new to this entire field, and only recently set up my NAS with DDNS and everything to get around my CGNAT. I decided to go with Cloudflare since it was a name I knew well, and reviews were good. It did feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it was pretty easy to figure out what I needed to do and what I didn’t, and I am pretty happy with it.

What all did you have to do in addition to DDNS to get around CGNAT? Are you using something like this? github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT

I installed the cloudflared docker container and set up the Cloudflare Zero Access Tunnel thing.
I can’t stream my plex media through it due to TOS, but with access control and the 1.1.1.1 DNS and everything, it has been great.

That sounds pretty neat! I’m definitely going to look into this, as we recently switched to fiber Internet and it’s my first ISP with CGNAT. Been spoiled with my previous ISPs just raw dogging the NAT and giving me a public IP.

This was what I followed to set things up: crosstalksolutions.com/cloudflare-tunnel-easy-set… The only difference is that I bought my domain from cloudflare too, so I didn’t need to do the first few steps.
