  Avoid cloudflare

    Sounds good. Better free DNS option with API support?

      Desec.io is a good option. To be honest using cloudflare just for DNS is completely OK. It’s not a service that allows spying on you or consolidates their monopoly.

      Don’t use DNS like that. Use a VPS and route traffic to a isolated network at home if need be

        ?? Your solution to dynamic dns is to run all the traffic through a static IP vps? Are you paying for this VPS, or are you saying you trust the host more than you trust cloudflare, because they give you a free VPS?

        That’s definitely a nice solution, but I have not had good luck with free VPS providers keeping the lights on. It would likely cost money on the order of $5 to $10 per month, so it is a different class of solution.

      Does porkbun not just have that?

        It does, but for the same reason as what happened to OP, it’s best to separate DNS from domain registrar.
