We are not using cloud flare. But our domain is also not accessible. We are using digital ocean's DNS service for propagating our IP. Does the DigitalOcean's DNS service depend on Cloudflare service?


Yes https://www.cloudflare.com/case-studies/digitalocean/


That link isn't accessible from where I am right now.

Alanis Morissette agrees that this is ironic.


Yes, this is actual irony, unlike “rain on your wedding day.”


but in regards to singing a whole song about things that are not irony being irony: isn't it ironic?

don't you think?


Yes! IRL Alanis is smart and eloquent, and those that think that song's lyrics are evidence to the contrary are missing the joke.


Moved all my domains to DO specifically to stop donating traffic data to Cloudflare. Absolutely stunned I didn't notice this earlier.

It's bullshit all the way down.

Are there any companies left offering free DNS usable from Terraform that aren't part of the "Internet Five Eyes"?

edit: looks like Linode may be the next best 'not terrible' option


I have bad news for you, Linode's authoritative DNS service also uses Cloudflare DNS Firewall.

So much for whoever downthread said "not all websites use cloud flare"


Same here, except DNSimple.


Yes.
