as a general noob to self-hosting, I’m curious about this!
do you run your stuff through a cloudflare tunnel, or have any authentication service that lives outside of your network? something has got to be causing your connections to go out and then back for a cloudflare outage to impact on your own LAN, right?
I use them as a DDNS, and a first line of defence.
It seems very wasteful, doesn’t it?
The truth is that I often need to access these from a device that doesn’t have local access to the server, such as a company laptop, or a phone on mobile network.
This is also given for anyone outside of my house.
As such, I often don’t bother setting up local access, except for specific services that are critical or use a lot of bandwidth that can go locally.
Not to mention password and bookmark management, which is a little part, but it can get out of hand (I have about 50 services/front-ends).
TLDR: Your can use cloudflare or alternatives with fallback on local for most services, if you set it up that way
got it! I don’t have that many hosted services, but for my limited external clients that need to connect, I get by with what tailscale has to offer at least for now!
Oh, let me check down detector to see what’s impacted.
Well, shit…
Ok uh, somehow, no one has posted this yet.
The System Is Down
Man what’s not impacted?
I host my own shit and I couldn’t access it from my own house
Is there a reason you’re tunneling through Cloudflare?
Use a tailscale tunnel instead, or at least as backup.
I have wireguard, but I don’t expose most services locally, so it wouldn’t save me in this case.
Thanks though

thanks for the breakdown!
Maybe cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1?
