    Better delivery and avoids exposing your IP via emails, although it’s best to setup a some sort of tunnel to avoid having that problem altogether.

      Is it possible to have a public-facing instance without exposing your IP? I am not sure I understand that part, and I am very interested in understanding how to achieve that.

        Yes, you tunnel all your traffic through cloudflare. Google “Cloudflare tunnel”.

        Whatever people say about cloudflare, right now it’s a necessity if you manage a public facing server and don’t have the resources to avoid DDoS attacks.

          Thank you! I will look into cloudfare, what people say about it, and what resources are necessary to avoid DDoS attacks without it!
