I mean, this and the reddit board are /r/selfhosted. We self-host, yet I see so much about people relying on 1.1.1.1 and Cloudflare’s proxy services that they never second-guess.

I don’t care about Cloudflare. My server doesn’t exist to use their proxies and services when the entire point is to divide from reliance on third-parties.

I already found Anubis, I’m sure many of you are familiar with it. Are there any other useful tools or similar that you guys have been using?

    Cloudflare does a lot of things from DNS to tunnels. Can you describe the part you’re interested in?

      …asterisk? The proxy everyone uses, the middleware that detects bots and such before letting you through. Their bread and butter. I’m not sure of any formal name.

      Ok now this is interesting.

      I’m not knocking anubis but anubis seems very one-note, a single step. Pangolin looks more encompassing.

    Isn’t one of Cloudflare’s biggest strengths that they have a shitton of servers around the world and can thus provide DDOS resilient caching?

    Having a shitton of servers is kind of the antithesis of self hosting.
