If you're relying on Cloudflare are you even self-hosting?
If you build a house, but hire a guard for the front gate, do you even own the house?!
If you use DNS at all, do you even own your street address!?!?
Yes if it's tunneled to your self-hosting setup. With CGNAT you have to use similar services if you want to self-host.
