So, with the Cloudflare outage, I have found my self hosted services are not accessible outside of the home. I use a SWAG reverse proxy from linuxserver.io and bought my domain through cloudflare. I’m fairly new at this stuff, so is this a secure way of doing things? Does cloudflare have access to my data? I’m fairly new at this, so I apologize if this is a silly question. Is there some way to self host what cloudflare does?
Doubt cloudflare has access to your date. more like the time old joke of it was DNS.
Most likely because you purchased your domain through Cloudflare they are also your authoritative name servers for your domain. When you try to access home.your.domain if the local DNS server doesn’t already know the IP to send that traffic to it will ask CF because they are the name servers. As they are having issues they didn’t respond.
I don’t know if CF allows you do use other name servers with domains purchased by them.
