minus-squareSugarSnack@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoDoes that mean it wouldn’t be an issue if you bring an SSL cert from say ZeroSSL but use Cloudflare for DNS, caching, DDoS protection etc?
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoFor DNS and DDoS protection that wouldn’t directly be an issue. For caching it would be breaking. You cannot cache what you cannot read (encrypted traffic can only be cached by the decrypting party).
