The alternative is raw-dogging the internet like in the good ole days.

Close all ports except 80 and 443 on your firewall.

Thanks, that solved my Spam issue.

I think the problem is the good ole days didn't have LLM bots ready to spread propaganda at every turn :/

Honestly i really wish i could host things without relying on another party but how viable is that really?

I would host a lemmy instance like that if it where possible but one, i would be exposing my public ip if i did, and two, i don't think i can get a certificate for https like that.

Let's encrypt?

if you use Caddy they even take care of that part for you

I know I'm just dumb but for some reason Caddy is just so much easier to set up than nginx or fiddling with .htaccess files; I'd always fuck something up

All you need to get an SSL cert for HTTPS is a domain name you demonstrably own and a credit card. There's literally no other requirement.

I have a domain name, but to attach it to my remote ip i needed cloudflare.

[–] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You need CloudFlare? Any DNS provider can create an A record for a domain and IP then boom: accessible from any browser as soon as DNS propagates, (usually less than an hour but possibly up to 24hrs). CloudFlare is just a middle man really that offers some security and performance benefits.

Edit: spelling

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

that makes no sense whatsover, complete and utter nonsense

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The register that i bought it from did not provide the right service, i got recommended to use cloudflare to do so.

If you pardon me the pun, online networking isn’t my domain of expertise.

I am happy to use local resource to move away from it, some of my servers don’t work well on cloudflare. If you care to explain how.

If you're feeling brave you could always put something like fail2ban or crowdsec in front of your self hosted stuff.

Yay - able to visit a website without someone "verifying" the "status" of my computer!

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not free but there's https://bunny.net/cdn

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 8 points 10 months ago

Plenty of cheap vps providers with ddos protection though, just route trough one of those. As for a cdn, That's available from a bunch of providers in the eu

Just found a potentially viable business plan, then.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also no alternative for YouTube. Guess no more YouTube for me.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen this one, but unfortunately they don’t have a tv App. I mostly watch on my tv/Apple tv(I know).

I can only get dailymotion. Which was last updated 2017. lol

Yeah, there is Myra but they are 10k+ a month.
