@rapkin61 I went to cloudflare. No need to transfer your Domain. Just add it to the Dashboard and set the NS records. If you want to keep mail functionality, set it accordingly in the UD settings and set the MX records as shown in the instructions.

Never had any trouble with it after going that route. And much stuff has integration for Cloudflare like certbot.

Seems like 2FA via e-mail is now forced on for everyone. I have added TOTP functionality. Note that at least in my case, the record id of my dns record changed.
