  Man what’s not impacted?
  I host my own shit and I couldn’t access it from my own house

    Use a tailscale tunnel instead, or at least as backup.

      I have wireguard, but I don’t expose most services locally, so it wouldn’t save me in this case.
      Thanks though

    Is there a reason you’re tunneling through Cloudflare?

    as a general noob to self-hosting, I’m curious about this! do you run your stuff through a cloudflare tunnel, or have any authentication service that lives outside of your network? something has got to be causing your connections to go out and then back for a cloudflare outage to impact on your own LAN, right?

      I use them as a DDNS, and a first line of defence.

      It seems very wasteful, doesn’t it?
      The truth is that I often need to access these from a device that doesn’t have local access to the server, such as a company laptop, or a phone on mobile network.
      This is also given for anyone outside of my house.
      As such, I often don’t bother setting up local access, except for specific services that are critical or use a lot of bandwidth that can go locally.

      Not to mention password and bookmark management, which is a little part, but it can get out of hand (I have about 50 services/front-ends).

      TLDR: Your can use cloudflare or alternatives with fallback on local for most services, if you set it up that way

        got it! I don’t have that many hosted services, but for my limited external clients that need to connect, I get by with what tailscale has to offer at least for now!

        thanks for the breakdown!

      Maybe cloud flare dns 1.1.1.1?

  Ok uh, somehow, no one has posted this yet.
