The CNAME DDNS trick you showed in your video is awesome. I just finished watching a few more of your videos and put it all together for a new domain/subdomains, CF, Firewall, SSL, reverse Proxy with DDNS. Thanks!!!! Easy one to subscribe too. I honestly thought this was going to be a weekend project but with your videos it made it quick work.
Glad that they helped, thanks so much for the kind words!
Brilliant, thank you, clear information 👍😊
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing
Comment section was empty so here I am. Love the videos. Even if I'm not implementing everything you discuss, it's great to have a base understanding of what things are and how they work.
Side note, My OpenVPN config was working great on my mobile data until I switched states so now I'm constantly in roaming and for some reason it doesn't work now. I suspect it's to do with IPv6 implementation on my carrier's end but I could be wrong. Either way, would love a video on how to enable IPv6 on the VPN Server. I've been looking into it and I'm at a complete loss so far lol
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind words!
I will add this to my list and hopefully get to it in a future tutorial! Theoretically, it should work similarly to IPv4, but I know there are some other complexities.
Excellent vid thank you
Glad it helped, thank you for watching!
Hi there, it was a very useful and informative tutorial video, keep it up. thnx
Nice one
this is super helpfull
very very goooood😊♥
Nice work keep it up
Thanks so much! Glad to hear it helped!
شكرا
i didn't have to turn the proxy off. i got the too many redirects error msg but i just had to change it from flexible to full and it's working. i think.
hi great stuff very informatrive. Is it possible you make a complete comprehensive Cloudflare video which I am sure would be highly appreciated. you voice speed and way of delivery is perfect. i am working as a WAF engineer and need a site on regular basis to refer. thank you very much and wish you all the best.
I'll add it to my list!
Thanks for the helpful video. Question: do you know if Bot fight Mode is compatible with Siteground Security plugin? I Just set up this site that is hosted on Siteground (and comes with that plugin installed) to use Cloudflare DNS. I see it says "Other security products cannot be used to skip Bot Fight Mode" on the cloudflare note so wanted to check before activating.
I unfortunately don't use Siteground, but I'd imagine that it would work (though that is nothing other than an educated guess). The traffic will go through Cloudflare first which makes me think it would work, but reaching out to Cloudflare might be your best bet. My apologies for not having an answer!
if you already have a hosting plan with a registrar, and have your domain name with another . how will this work with cloudflare ? how much GB will they let you use on the free plan ?
It should work the same! You will have to add the Cloudflare Nameservers onto your registrar, but it will then crawl in all of your DNS entries and you should be functioning the same.
The only caps you will run into is the Cloudflare free tier limit (firewall rules for example). There is no GB total though.
I am a newbie with cloudflare and trying out its free plan product the zero trust. I used the abuse report form of cloudflare to report phishing sites and I am searching a faster way other than waiting the report to take action. I have several customers (domain holders) that want me to block the phishing sites related to their domain that are imitating their brand. Can I block the phishing site via using zero trust?
If it's going to be used for some sort of enterprise security mitigation, I'd really recommend reaching out to Cloudflare directly. I don't want to give you bad information and they would certainly have better input.
Do I need SSL option turned on in Cloudflare if I already have it in Siteground?
I'd recommend using it, but it's your call.
@@WunderTechTutorials I removed Cloudflare, was causing issues with my Ads. But thanks anyways.
Im trying to figure out if its good idea to use cloudflare for such services like Synology Drive - file sync etc ? And secondly, can a VPN (ssl) e also proxied ? Some how i cant get it dont and in some way i understand why.. especially using built-in reverse proxy on syno.
If you're exposing Synology Drive, it can't hurt. You won't see the benefits that a CDN is truly designed for, but it can't hurt to put Cloudflare in front of it. Especially if you'd like to mask your home IP address.
For your second question, do you mean proxied with a domain name? If so, you can most likely get it to work if you're not using UDP. I don't believe that you will be able to get it to work with UDP, but if you're using TCP, you should be able to use it by pointing the client to the domain name and port 443, then having the reverse proxy server point to the correct internal TCP port.
@@WunderTechTutorials yes thats my goal to hide an IP behind CF. But ive got some questions about some features like, "maximum upload file per request" where you're using free - then its 100mb. So for file sync it might a bottleneck and mostly useless. I did try to upload 4gb or 7gb file. It wasnt any problem. But im just wondering whats is really for. Regarding VPN - you are right im using UDP cuz of performance. So it will not work at all thru CF - so thx for realizing ^^ im still looking for explanation regarding certificates section, what can we do with it how to config it, where there is a bunch of options including generating some certs.. its a good idea for next film ^^ 😀
@@RK-ly5qj I will keep that in mind for a future video!
The 100MB upload is a good point, and one that you can get around by using "DNS Only", but that might defeat the purpose if you want to mask your IP. Unfortunately, this might just be a free tier downside, but if it is working, can't hurt to leave it!
Apologies for the spam haha. Firstly, thank you for posting these videos. I just got my own domain, now trying to reverse proxy with it, how do I set a subdomain to go into that reverse proxy? Thank you
You will need to point an A/CNAME (A for static IP/ CNAME for dynamic) to either your external IP address or your dynamic DNS hostname (DDNS). At that point, the domain name will point to your local network and as long as your local network is set up properly, you should be able to access your service!
How do i remove this cloudflare service after changing the nameservers and all that?
You would go on your registrar and stop using the Cloudflare Nameservers.
i have a problem not a registered domain pls help
Can you explain the issue a little further?
Can I, or should I do this for my synology.me account? If yes, how?
Unfortunately, you need to own your own domain to run Cloudflare. Wish there was a workaround!
Does Cloud fare stop invalid traffic??
It has some protection against bots/spam attacks.
can we still have our own hosting company - and also get free cloudfare we are under DDos attack
Yes, this will still work/help.
What do I do when I have dynamic pages? How do I speed that up? Cloudflare has definitely slowed my site down.
It'll be hard to cache data if there is dynamic data. You're most likely better off trying to see if you can delay javascript, minify CSS, etc.
@@WunderTechTutorials do you know if they have documentation for that? There is a lot of dynamic content out there.
@@Abc-sl1nf Not sure, unfortunately.
I really need help
cloudflare should pay you more than their sales people
