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.

Too bad its completely against what the fediverse is about.

Also, serverhunter.com if anyone wants cheaper than hetzner. It cery much depends on your needs.

Dang, Hetzner is really popular

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

It's cheap and flexible.

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

[–] Demigodrick 8 points 8 months ago

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.
