Many websites are down, so much for decentralised internet.

    maybe it’s a bad idea to put the entirety of the backbone of the internet on one or two private companies.

      Not only because it’s a single point of failure, but also because it’s a single point of surveillance.

      Cloudflare can read and even modify the communications everyone has with sites behind its HTTPS service. And it can monitor people’s browsing through its DNS-over-HTTP service. And it can fingerprint people’s browsers through any of its services that use JavaScript, such as its CAPTCHA-like thing.

    Also the irony that some “is it down”-detectors using Cloudflare are also down.

      It is not just Europe the entire world should stop using American companies for everything. Amazon, Microsoft, and cloudflare. A big portion of the internet is US dependent. Russia and China seem to realize how big of an issue this is, Europe still too dependent.

        I think they’re starting to realize it, a lot of European govt agencies have been migrating from Windows to Linux distros

    Had to get that account back as piefed.zip, piefed.social and lemmy.zip cannot be accessed.

    Cool to see other people still able to access the Threadiverse

    I’m willing to move away from cloudflare if only I can expose servers without a global IP and needing to open port on the router side. Do anybody know how to do this?

    Or maybe I should move to somewhere I can setup port-forwarding?

        So it’s basically the same as what https://startrek.website/u/qjkxbmwvz described above … but with extra security features?

      Just use wire guard. This is what tunnels is and this is what tail scale uses

      You could use something like tail scale

        Tailscale is fine, problem is I have to keep my phone connected to the tail network, which drains the battery. I do have a tailscale subnet router running under my network so I can fix things remotely.
