Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said… I just moved my homeserver to another city… and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy…

    It’s not the only free DNS service.

    can i get some alternatives. currently basically using cf pretty much just for dns, but would really like to switch

        that looks great, thanks o/

        EDIT: looks like you can only manage 1 domain before having to contact their support

          As it is run by volunteers, they probably want to keep corporate (or domain hoarders) off their platform unless they pay.

            makes sense, they support plenty of donation options, if that’s suggested/a requirement to let me transfer in more than 1 :)

          Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

          That’s why we can’t have nice things.

          Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.
