Since July 2022, my [[website]] is set up to use Cloudflare. It supposedly makes accessing the site faster, but I mainly like it for the DNS controls, which will hopefully be able to last over multiple hosting providers. This would let me avoid having to configure my preferred [[redirect]] setup every time I switch domains.
The CNAME must point to dnnsmnstrr.github.io.
A wildcard * is proxied through cloudflare (IP can be anything, like 8.8.8.8) and intercepted by a page rule, which rewrites the URL to from *.muensterer.codes/* to the current [[api]] URL. The dynamic pattern allows the destination URL to include variables: https://dnnsmnstrr.vercel.app/api/redirect/$1/$2. This lets me access my redirects using subdomain notation (e.g. dennis.muensterer.codes).
For namecheap: under Domain -> Nameservers select Custom DNS and enter the two nameservers below.

Cloudflare Zero trust can be used to set up a tunnel to services running on an internal network, like [[homeassistant]] or invidious
