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.

Hey guys, For my home server I am using a Cloudflare domain name to access it, but I noticed today that my connections are secured using the Google Trust Services LLC certs, rather than the Let's Encrypt certs Nginx Proxy Manager uses.. so I'm assuming that cloudflare is having a ball sniffing all my traffic before forwarding my requests to my server...

Is there a way around this? Do other registrars do this??

Thanks!

The way I see it, using their Zero Trust tunnels and such, the benefits out weigh any perceived threat from them. They handle so much traffic anymore, my little bit of data isn't even going to be a small blip in their infrastructure. They assess the traffic for threats on the fly, they aren't going to attempt to keep a copy of everything their system see's, that would be just way to much to deal with. Hell of a lot better than a marketing company (Google) holding your email and the like.
