Hey is there any alternatives to CloudFlare reverse proxies? I want to hide my server IP but not share everything with CF…

    Aight, but db0 had something about it obscuring the server location, IIRC.

      it’s possible, but that would seem… odd… for such a large and tech-savvy instance. there’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t a good idea, and very few technical reasons why it is

      my guess is that it’s less about obscuring server location for privacy reasons as is the implications in this thread, and more about handling changes cleanly or something like that - in which case, sure it obscures the server location but more that it makes the server “location” (or hardware, etc) irrelevant and fungible
