Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Thank you. I'm trying to understand how exactly is using CF's nameservers letting Cloudflare intercept traffic from around the world to my instance?
When you type a TLD into the internet, a nameserver tells where that address is. Right now it's going to your instance, to work, cloudlfare needs to be the address. Cloudflare isnt something you install on your server, it's a nother server.
If Cloudflare just needed the address, they could query the domain name I would provide them during the setup process (which they do, in order to set up the CDN). Why their DNS servers instead of my own?
My apologies, I think I'm missing a crucial point here which is why I'm asking the same question multiple times. Thanks so much for your help!
