I'm just being a negative nancy here, but I don't think I'd want to advertise that any of my sites are specifically self hosted, in that it kinda asks for ... security probing, since it's more likely than not got less than professional security surrounding it.
Having said that gestures to the entirety of the internet
So maybe not such a big deal.

- arrty88 4mo ago> The primary purpose of the Cloudflare DNS Proxy is to act as a reverse proxy that sits between your website visitors and your origin server. When enabled, Cloudflare intercepts incoming web traffic, processes it, and shields your server from direct connections. Maybe you are not up to date on latest trends, but modern CDN purpose is to shield the origin from the public writ large.
- illithid0 4mo agoThere is more to a public web service's digital attack surface than what it looks like in a browser. Correlating and using breached passwords from someone's unrelated accounts to their self-hosted service login portals, for example.
- lionkor 4mo agoThat's the marketing pitch of cloudflare, yes. That doesn't mean that it's a good idea, it means that they'd like it to be.
