    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.
