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.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Maybe a picture will help. This one is from Browserleaks:
Where the IP is listed at the top of the page. All the last numbers in the IP sequence were different. Same block, still piped through Cloudflare tho.
Your public IP is DHCP. It changes from time to time. Nothing weird about that.
Any of the other IP's in the DNS Servers list changing is just what you get pointed to when resolved based on your GeoIP location.
Hmmmm I seem to be unable to explain.
Ok. Fire up the VPN.
Do, 4 different, simultaneous, leak checks from multiple sites like Browser Leaks, dnscheck.tools, etc.
As in the picture, under 'Your IP'. Results:
Whereas xxx.xxx.xxx stayed the same, but the last set in the sequence was different in every test. The IP block (xxx.xxx.xxx.) was the same, just the last three digits were different in 4 different, simultaneous, tests. I realize VPN IPs change and so do Cloudflare IPs change. What I am saying is tho the IP block was the same (owned by the VPN), just the last three digits were different, even when I changed locales in my VPN.
I hope that explains what I'm trying to say.
See my other response. This is quite normal.
They have always been the same, now for years.
Then something has changed about the local deployment and concentration of the network near you. Don't know what to tell ya 🤷
As long as the provider is the same, and your instances are using properly using DoH or DoT, you have nothing to worry about.
If you're super concerned though, I'd be using Mullvad over Cloudflare though. Just saying.
