there’s not much to know about it, I use Cloudflare simply because its routing is better than direct IP connections for many places on Earth. I can’t fully use Cloudflare anyway because I host many non-web services.

I know about it, but it kinda defeats the purpose (the purpose being police raid protection)

• full disk encryption on everything except the router (no point in encrypting the router)
  • the server doesn’t have a display connected for obvious reasons, so I’m manually unlocking it via ssh on each boot
    • obviously, the SSH keys are different, so the server has a different IP in initrd. That said, I still don’t have any protection against malicious modification of initrd or UEFI
• the server scans all new SSL certificates in realtime using certspotter and notifies me of any new certificates issued for my domains that it doesn’t know about (I use Cloudflare so it triggers relatively often, but I still do checks on who the issuer is)
• firewall blocks outgoing 25 so nobody can impersonate my mailserver
