Hey guys, For my home server I am using a Cloudflare domain name to access it, but I noticed today that my connections are secured using the Google Trust Services LLC certs, rather than the Let’s Encrypt certs Nginx Proxy Manager uses… so I’m assuming that cloudflare is having a ball sniffing all my traffic before forwarding my requests to my server…

Is there a way around this? Do other registrars do this??

Thanks!

    Ohhh wow I can’t believe I forgot about that, I feel so dumb hahaha.

    Are there any benefits to keeping this switched on? Other than than the security I mean, is the tradeoff between privacy and security worth it in your opinion?

      That’s something you’d have to decide in your threat model.

      Do you think cloudflare, which is trusted by many, many large organizations would do anything malicious with your traffic? It’s unlikely, but if that is something your concerned about them turn it off. I don’t think for most self hosted services it’s necessary but I also don’t think it matters either way.
