    @timconsidine said in Yubikey to secure servers.. has anyone tried it?:

    do I understand correctly that in order to use Cloudflare on a domain, they have to be registrar for it, i.e. transfer the domain to them?

    No, you can also delegate single zones or the whole domain to another name server.
    For example I have some domains registered at autodns, which cloudron does not have an auto config for.
    So I can delegate either the whole domain or a zone to another name server.

    Example:

    I have my AwesomeDomain.tld and I want to have a cloudron on my.dev.AwesomeDomain.tld and want the .*.dev zone to be managed by DigitalOcean.
    I can set 3x NS records for dev with ns[1-3].digitalocean.com. as value.

    Now the zone is delegated to DigitalOcean DNS Servers and can be managed over there.

    Watch out tho! When configuring Cloudron you have to click Advanced settings for the DNS setup and set the Zone Name (Optional) to dev.AwesomeDomain.tld which would be by default AwesomeDomain.tld

        @timconsidine No, I still have my domains at their respective registrars. You just edit the nameservers to cloudflare and you're set.

        Cloudflare Nameservers
        To use Cloudflare, ensure your authoritative DNS servers, or nameservers have been changed. These are your assigned Cloudflare nameservers.
        Type	Value
        NS	sunny.ns.cloudflare.com
        NS	terin.ns.cloudflare.com
        

        BTW, renewal prices have gone up. The .com was $8.57 and it has gone up to $9.15. Namesilo sent an email back in aug-sep(?) about the price increase so it must be ICANN mandated.

                @jdaviescoates during the mess of figuring out how to get to that offer button, I created a new account and signed up for the offer just like you did. I received an email yesterday with the "decline" and telling me how to become eligible. The sad part is that I haven't received the coupon on my eligible account yet.

                      @BrutalBirdie Nice! I got mine yesterday (a day ahead of estimated delivery). I just got around to setting mine up. Vaultwarden (webauthn method) works great. I tried to secure my laptop login (W11 Home on a local account) but it's still logging me in without the Yubikey. The drive isn't encrypted so that might have something to do with it. I read that Bitlocker is only available on the Pro version, not Home. I can use Drive Encryption instead but it's asking to log into a Microsoft account. It's days like these when I curse the devs of my work related software for not supporting Linux!

                          @humptydumpty i'm just carrying mine on my keychain. They are very robust. No problems so far with my 9+ years old key.

                            Here is my workflow with yubikeys (from now on short yk).

                            I have three.

                            • 1x Mobile
                            • 1x Stationary
                            • 1x Backup

                            If a webpage offers FIDO support, great! But? Only 1 key? The site must have multi key support. Good examples are Github, Hetzner and may more.
                            A BAD Example is kraken.com! A Crypto trading platform which only supports ONE KEY!
                            I had a lengthy discussion with one of the support head members who promised me, multi keys will be available soon. The all known SOONβ„’.

                            If not, I use the TOTP feature from the yk.

                            This way I can always sync mobile and stationary and every quarter of the year I get my backup key from the bank vault and sync it as well.

                            This way I always a duo setup and 1x spare in case of absolute disaster.

                            I've been running this setup for quite some time and the vault key can be a bit annoying, but security over comfort.

                              @BrutalBirdie said in Yubikey to secure servers.. has anyone tried it?:

                              1x Mobile
                              1x Stationary

                              I love the idea of having a stationary key. A Bio key attached to a USB extension cable hidden under the desk would be ideal for me πŸ™‚

                                Is anyone using a Yubikey to secure a Windows 11 local account?

                                I upgraded to Pro, activated Bitlocker, and only have user/pass option active for signing in (no PIN, Windows Hello, etc.). It still signs me in without inserting a Yubikey. This is maddening!
