Yay - able to visit a website without someone “verifying” the “status” of my computer!
The alternative is raw-dogging the internet like in the good ole days.
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.
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.
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.
