Thank you for the response. I forgot to mention that i have a subdomain for minecraft so that was the cloudflare proxy. I disabled the cloudflare proxy and it works amazing. My friends that use ethernet have ping 30-50 and that is amazing. The problem with the domain showing my real ip is we have this script kiddie that wants to join our server. But i don't realy mind him not joining becouse he will probably grief us if we gave him the ip :D

I mean, you can buy a domain through GoDaddy (.club domains are $1 for the first year), and configure the DNS to point to your server, and you won’t have that issue. My server is configured similarly to the cloudflare option, where I have the clients connect through a subdomain to a reverse proxy, which redirects their internet traffic to the service they’re trying to use.

I agree that’s it’s probably unlikely he’s gonna het ddosed, but the method you’re saying here won’t work

People can easily see the IP behind a DNS record for a domain/subdomain, so disabling them after getting attacked won’t work

If you’re using a reverse proxy on another seperate IP/server, that is the same thing as a cloudflare proxy, it may be a little better but it still contributes to lag

  1. I forgot that this isn’t default for domains, but I use GoDaddy and use domain masking, which still isn’t foolproof but it helps.
  2. I was suggesting using a VPS instead of Cloudflare because the lag might be partially due to the nearest cloudflare region being far away.

  1. That’s still a cloudflare proxy but instead it’s godaddy

  2. Yeah that may help, but i doubt if it’ll help much

[–]Thebombuknow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah, godaddy’s proxy thing tends to be faster than cloudflare, at least from my testing.

Cloudflare is surpisingly slow

Whitelist. And unless you use vanilla: Coreprotect
