Hey is there any alternatives to CloudFlare reverse proxies? I want to hide my server IP but not share everything with CF…
minus-squarebreakingcups@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·18 days agoDepends on why you want to hide your server ip, what’s your use case? Is it to protect against DDOS? Cloudflare is evil, but is there any other party you would trust to share everything with?
