Are you using cloudflares protection or proxy? That orange toggle next to the a record?
If so, then cloudflare is acting as a middle man and will use their SSL certs.
Ohhh wow I can't believe I forgot about that, I feel so dumb hahaha.
Are there any benefits to keeping this switched on? Other than than the security I mean, is the tradeoff between privacy and security worth it in your opinion?
That's something you'd have to decide in your threat model.
Do you think cloudflare, which is trusted by many, many large organizations would do anything malicious with your traffic? It's unlikely, but if that is something your concerned about them turn it off. I don't think for most self hosted services it's necessary but I also don't think it matters either way.
Good point, I'll leave it on then. Thanks for your help!
