Hey guys, I am completely new to all of this stuff.
I am hosting a Homeassistant server at home which I wanted to access from on the go. Therefore I bought myself a domain and setup cloudflare (Cloudflared in Home assistant) to be able to access it with a Cloudflare tunnel.
Since I´ve noticed that this website got quite a ton of traffic, I wanted to further secure it.
I firstly moved my Homeassist access to (imaginary) home.domain.com instead of domain.com. Since, in case i got it right, its harder to find subdomains than the real domain right?
Also, I´ve set SSL Client Certificates and setup WAF Custom Rules, in order to block all traffic outside my country + another rule to block all traffic which doesnt give a verified certificate.
Is this secure enough or am I missing something? I still got quite some Total Requests, however, I am not sure how to check, whether these requests are my own or not - is it somehow possible to see ALL traffic to my domain + subdomain and see, where its coming from (IPs)? If theres any improvements to be made, pls let me know!
