Hi, Im hosting a website off my raspberry pi, via No-ip and apache and various other things, And i was wondering two things;

 

1) Whats the best, cheapest and easiest way to protect my home IP address from a simple tracert in command prompt.

 

2) Is it possible to get a domain such as Hello.org, and redirect it to my website, or (better yet) is it possible to use no-ip to change from my free domain name to a paid one. ( i cant see a change option)

 

Thanks.

Hi.

Did you purchase a domain or are you using a provided one? If it is the latter (which seems to be what no-ip does), you can't use CloudFlare. If you have purchased one, you can use CloudFlare to do the traffic proxying between visitors and your server. CloudFlare has an API to use for updating the IP in DNS, but there probably are some tools that can do it as well.

 

Do take note, that CloudFlare can only proxy HTTP(S) traffic, not any other kind of TCP/UDP or whatever traffic.

 

Why are you worried about leaking/protecting your IP address? I'd focus on properly securing the systems instead.

cloudflare is free until you need the enterprise functionality.

it will only protects you from http/s attack like ddos.

you have to use the provided cloudflare name servers and then redirrect A record to your server IP.

this won't hide your IP as it will eventually end up in the tracert.

the safest way to avoid your home being traced, is to rent a server / cloud.

no... if you use cloudflare you will not be able to see host ip

 

I actually use cloudflare for my website.
