Q&A
I’m using DuckDns for my WireGuard server for 4 months. In October there were couple of service degradation issues when records were not resolved from first try. It lasted 3-4 days each time. I even started to look for other providers, but things reverted back to normal.
I just thought that maybe cloudflare was better it it’s not
Old post but I wanted to share a small note if you choose CloudFlare for DDNS.
CloudFlare has an option to proxy requests through their network which will mask your IP in DNS. But, this option won't work because CloudFlare will only proxy HTTP traffic on ports 80 and/or 443. If you want to configure using CloudFlare, make sure you set the proxy option to
DNS OnlyCloudFlare Network Ports
Wouldn't this work fine if you use reverse-proxy anyways?
If you own the domain, DuckDNS only uses their own domain so it’s not an option.
So can you tell me how to setup wireguard with my own domain in cloudflare? I have done everything exactly the same I had with duckdns but when using cloudflare I can’t get handshake
I have my own domain and I use DuckDNS.
Domain hosted in Azure
Azure DNS Zone create CNAME for subdomain pointing to DucKDNS subdomain
DuckDNS points to my IP
My router forwards ports to my edge server
My edge server runs NPM which directs subdomain traffic to docker services
Works very well.
I'm using the wireguard addon on my home assistant os and I want to use my cloudflare domain instead Duckdns. Can someone help me with the configuration?
did you ever find a solution for this? im in the same boat.
