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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said... I just moved my homeserver to another city... and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy...

It's actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)

I'll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.

It looks like Quad9 supports DoH: quad9

You might want to study more about SNI. Your ISP knows anyway

I know plenty account SNI already, but thanks. You might want to study more yourself, since we're being condescending.

Well, running your own DNS server will also give you eSNI. And Cloudflare still doesn't know anything

Your ISP knows where you're going anyway. They don't need DNS for that. They see all the traffic.

You can run a VPN and tunnel your outbound DNS queries over that. Heck, you could tunnel your DNS queries over TOR
