Seems to rely on https://api.ipify.org/ to determine public IP. Is there any Cloudflare service one can use to determine the IP instead? That way there’s not an extra company in addition to Cloudflare itself that you need to continue existing.

Some good points, thanks. FWIW, I have been using it with Plex (just two users, me and my parents) and haven't gotten banned. The ToS are kind of unclear on whether this is allowed if I have to be honest.
Video streaming in general is one of their red lines, you're not supposed to shove any kind of video through their CDN unless the origin is another Cloudflare product (e.g. CF Stream or R2).

From the discussions I've read, it's not as clear cut, e.g.: https://old.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/152wfdh/can_i_use_a_c...
old_ip=`cat ~/.prev_ip`
my_ip=`ifconfig em0 | awk '/inet/ {print $2}' 2>&1`
my_email=me@example.com
if [ "$my_ip" != "$old_ip" ]; then
echo $my_ip > ~/.prev_ip
echo $my_ip | mail -r $my_email -s "New IP: $my_ip" $my_email
fiInstead of using DDNS, I have been using Cloudflare tunnels to expose my home services to the internet. The setup is much simpler and it seems like it's more secure too You specify a port and point it to a subdomain and it just immediately works, no maintenance necessary. The daemon only needs to be installed once with a simple terminal command

Does Cloudflare have a history of sunsetting products they've bought? Acquisitions by Google, Apple, Meta, etc. are yellow flags that the product may cease to exist soon. I wonder if Cloudflare has a better track record in that regard.
No one sunsets products like Google. I’m in the middle of transferring all my domains from Squarespace thanks to Googles sale of that business to that incredibly lousy vendor.
At some point their rationale has to become irrelevant. It’s simply unprofessional behavior.
