Hey is there any alternatives to CloudFlare reverse proxies? I want to hide my server IP but not share everything with CF…

    I’d probably use a VPS myself.

    I seem to recall db0 saying that lemmy.dbzer0.com is behind some sort of reverse proxy. I assume that they’re in the same boat as OP.

    looks

    $ host -t a lemmy.dbzer0.com
    lemmy.dbzer0.com has address 51.77.203.116
    $ whois 51.77.203.116

    I don’t know if that’s a VPS, but looks like they’re using OVH.
