despite that title, it’s more about Mastodon, GoToSocial, and Akkoma.

    the products are very resource intensive. makes sense a lot would be over on hetzner (its dirt cheap).

    i am maintaining my public instance ( https://moist.catsweat.com ) on amazons stack…just seems easier to setup for scaling. too bad its triple the cost.

    seems like my instance, lemmy.zip, is on Hetzner as well

      It is :)

      Just can’t be beaten for price/quality at this scale

    Hmm, getting origin servers to expose themselves this way is a clever hack. As noted, any bad actors probably already know this trick to bypass Cloudflare/whatever anti-DDOS layer.

    As a fix, I guess you can either send your server’s outgoing connections through a proxy/VPN or use your hosting company’s firewall to block all non-Cloudflare inbound traffic.
