If you use DNS with proxy it still applies, you should get a Cloudflare certificate then. But yes, if you use Cloudflare as DNS only, then it should be direct. I believe you get none of the protection or benefits doing this, you’re just using them as a name server.
The Cloudflare benefits of bot detection, image caching, and other features all rely on the proxy setting.
Also if proxying is enabled, your server IP is hidden which helps stop people knowing how to attack your server (e.g. they won’t have an IP address to attempt to SSH into it). You don’t get this protection in DNS only mode either.
Basically if you’re using DNS only, it’s no different to using the name server from your domain registrar as far as I can tell.
Where I live, many ISPs tie public IPs to static IPs if they are using CG-NAT. But of course there are other options as well. My point was that the other options don’t disappear.
Though I do get the point that Cloudflare aren’t giving away something for nothing. The main reason to me is to get hobbiest using it so they start using it (on paid plans) in their work, or otherwise get people to upgrade to paid plans. However, the “give something away for free until they can’t live without it then force them to pay” model is pretty classic in tech by now.
We start paying for static IPs. If cloudflare shuts down overnight, a lot of stuff stops working but no data is lost so we can get it back up with some work.
I’ve done this (sitting in a passenger seat), it’s normal. This video is a bit of an optical illusion, the planes are nowhere near as close as they look.
There are certain airports where it’s standard procedure.
If you do use one what other blocking do you productively use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?
I use an ad blocker, and in addition also use Pi-hole for network-wide domain based tracker blocking. I use tailscale to use this on my phone, but also have Tracker Control (the real version installed from F-Droid) to do something similar if for some reason I need to disable Tailscale (only one can be used at once, as they both use the VPN method).
I’m super curious what this would look like in a western country where poverty is different. It would need a lot more money for the equivalent payment so I guess Kenya is easier to find money for, but for example I wonder if people are as likely to start a new business or do we not have the same market gaps due to large companies or franchises filling those gaps?
Would it be helpful to ask for suggestions on getting better at the exam stuff, or do you already have what you need and just need to put in the study time?
How does air make it all the way down the pipe to the back of the toilet, surely that pipe has methane or other gasses that are the reason for the vent existing?
And the pipe allows air down from the vent on the roof or wherever? I would have thought the vent is to let out pressure from methane build up or something. Plus somehow that air needs to not only get down the pipe but also up the one going to the toilet.
