Many websites are down, so much for decentralised internet.

Oh, let me check down detector to see what's impacted.
Well, shit...
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
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!
thanks for the breakdown!
Maybe cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1?
