Also set up a second “A Record” pointing to the same address, but set the name to be “vttcdn”. I’m going to assume you want to use to point to your Foundry server, but you can also use if you’d prefer, just replace “foundry” with (meaning root).

Now make an “A Record” pointing at wherever your foundry server is. They’ll walk you through transferring your DNS to Cloudflare, from whoever you registered with. Make a Cloudflare account, then “Add a site”. I use namecheap, but it doesn’t matter who your registrar is. Buy a Domain Nameīuy a domain name, even if you’re hosting on your laptop in your mom’s basement, everything will be a lot easier if you own your own domain. Setting those things up is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but if you’ve figured all that out, you can probably figure this out too. I use Docker for all of my home apps, and so I use this container by felddy for Foundry, and SWAG as my nginx container, which reverse proxies & redirects things for me.

The “downside” is that it really only works running on a server, where the server can also host nginx (a web server). Setting up Cloudflare to accelerate your VTT assets can help imrpvoe performance for your players, and reduce load on your server, without disrupting your existing workflow.
