I’ve migrated about half of my services off of cloudflare DNS proxy. Guess which half still worked this afternoon. (Self hosting pangolin with CrowdSec as replacement). I wasn’t even using the cloudflare tunnel. Just their proxy for some bot mitigation.
still hard. most projects still CDN online instead of packaging into a single application.
it’s one of the most infuriating things about self-hosting. so I made my own self-hosted CDN and have rewrite rules that replace most public cdb domains and reroute them to my own local.
it would be great if I could just have something in the middle that would download once and cache locally on request, but it’s effort that would be taken from my time afk.
I remember the day I went why are we all selfhosting and still relying on a site like Cloudflare?.
I’m glad I agreed with me on it.

I use it for DNS and domain hosting, but that’s it, none of their proxying stuff.
