Really good one! Love it. But you still should think about not to hide your website behind Cloudflare. I know most people do not see this man-in-the-middle but if you use routing through Tor it pops up making people thing about it.

@kmj what are pros and cons of running own server for a website of a hobby project that is used by more than a million people and grows?

Your server does not change normally, because the server normally runs behind it and Cloudflare is positioned in front of your server. So for the server there should not be that much changes, the only and most importand thing is, that the SSL cert and private key must not be handed out to 3rd parties. I know the problems of financing and handling servers operated as hobby project and people thinking "one has to do something" :-). So it was just an idea from my side.

@organicmaps this depneds on the setup. If cloudflare is redirecting to their own cdn based on some directories off your server you would need to change that these directories would be redirected by your webserver to e.g. cdn.cdnprovider.com . The advantage would be theat you are in full control, means changing the cdn provider you simply change the redirects in your apache or nginx after syncing the files there. this should even work with cdn.ownttracks.app round robin to more than 1 cdn.

@kmj switching provider is easy with the current setup, itβs just a static web site anyway. Your approach requires more efforts. |
@kmj attached the song to the post. Unfortunately, there's 500 chars limit here, so there's no other way to see the full text.
