      @JaredBusch OK.
      Is there any reason not to use at least Cloudflare Free plan and setup Vultr FW to allow only Cloudflare traffic, if we have FQDN for our server?

        Pretty much never a reason not to do it.

        I always use Cloudflare already to handle DNS.

          No reason not to have FQDN for your stuff - it's completely free from CloudFlare.

            That's not how anything works.

            You must pay for a domain name.

            Now you can use all the sub domains you want. But that also gets int other configurations.

            You do not just have a FQDN.

              @Dashrender Really! We use DynDNS paid service for our in-house servers
              If you can point me how to get free FQDN from Cloudflare, I would be grateful?

                  Yeah - OK, sure, you have to pay for the domain name - but damn.. it's not like that's a fortune or anything...

                  If you're using a free DynDNS, then the free subs from CF should work as well.

                    FQDN are never free, there's no way for that. Someone HAS to pay for them, as they cost money. If anyone offered them for free, I'd "buy" every one in existence then sell them to everyone else for way, way more than they cost today.

                    It's only by having them be $10 a year or whatever that people have to evaluate if they want to pay for them.

                      But every FQDN from your domain, is free. Whether you have one, or millions.

                        As I said - we do have FQDN.
                        I was just suprised when @Dashrender said they are free from Cloudflare

                          I misspoke, I never meant that registered domains themselves were free. What I meant was free was DNS hosting and base level proxying from CF.
