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?


You’re, right, I misread the post.
At that point DNS is handled by whatever network you’re on. Since that not always under your control, hosting a private VPN (and setting DNS though that) is the way to go.
