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?
Depends on a few things. If you actually put the site ‘through’ cloudflare then they act as a SSL offloading proxy and could read the content.
If they’re just providing a DNS record than no, that just points people in your direction.
