New Invidious Instance (05/23/2021)

[hackerncoder]

I was going to do that once i got accepted.

You don't need to get accepted to do that.

[syeopite]

^. All instances with a modified source code needs to have their codebase be public before we'll accept it into the official instance list

[FireMasterK]

Yes, i was waiting once i got accepted then i would of uploaded it.

Had you uploaded it, you would have likely got accepted...

Some notes here:

• best ddos protection: A bit misleading, you didn't really setup your own ddos protection, it's just Cloudflare... Moreover, people in the privacy community don't like Cloudflare at all because it knows which video you are watching due to the fact that it is essentially doing a MITM of the HTTPS connection between the client and the end server. With its monopoly on the web it can track you across the web and build a very specific profile of you.
• if you are modifying any code related to invidious you should respect the AGPL and publish the source code.

[FireMasterK]

Please turn off Bot Management in cloudflare.

Disabled Login/Register (If people want to login/register enabled, Reply down below!)
Added a banner.
Database Cleaning with cronjobs.

This is hardly "features". We provide those options to everyone. And cleaning the database with cronjobs is even recommended in the documentation :)

Changed Invidious logo to my logo.
Better Dark Mode (Coming Soon)
Light Mode (May get removed, But i might just keep it in for the light mode users.)

As @unixfox pointed out, any changes to the source code MUST be available.
We actively monitor instances for AGPL violations, so make sure to comply if you want to see your instance in the public listings!

The ddos protection is vshield using dns management from cloudflare.

Yeah, I know that but others as i seen that uses invidious changed it some is probably not on the instance either. I didn't change it fully and if i do i won't change to be on the instance.

I do not use cloudflare, I use vshield. Cloudflare is only for dns management only.

Oh, and if i used only cloudflare. I wouldn't have the uptime... If you checked you would of seen the uptime proof!

Hey,

Sorry for any inconveniences, If i do not qualify to be on the instances...

[TheFrenchGhosty]

Any change to the source code requires respecting the AGPL.

Also: no need to give us your marketing speech. Your instance isn't special, your marketing speech is meaningless.

Why so rude?

[TheFrenchGhosty]

Why so rude?

Because you just advertised something that violate the AGPL as if it was the best instance ever.

No, i didn't say it was best you putting words in my mouth. I said i would like to get on instances and for other users that want the features and for the admins to know what you include in it.

Way before this post i already did my research and i checked yall uptime on other instances and alot of them is down on uptime robot that is why i said that.

Seriously though, your instance is going to go through the same treatment of downtime.

Any experienced attacker will know that Cloudflare's DDOS protection does nothing on a targeted attack.

[FireMasterK]

And it's already down, what a surprise:

I said above you didn't read you clearly not as experience. I said i use vshield ddos protection and uses cloudflare dns management only. I do not only use cloudflare, If you would of check my uptime you would know all the others services is up nearly all the time...

Also it says bad gateway, Not connection timed out. If someone was using cloudflare only it won't even be up.

[unixfox]

I do not use cloudflare, I use vshield. Cloudflare is only for dns management only.

Yes you are using cloudflare, enter your domain here, and it will say that the proxy feature of cloudflare is enabled: https://checkforcloudflare.selesti.com.

I don't really know how vshield works but for sure the HTTPS connections on your domain (invidious.criminal.sh) are going through cloudflare servers. Even the A records of your domain are owned by Cloudflare. I took the A records here: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/invidious.criminal.sh and as you can see the IP addresses are part of the CLOUDFLARENET network: https://ipinfo.io/AS13335/104.26.0.0/20-104.26.2.0/25.

So in the end even if you have no control over that because like you said you use vshield, the users of invidious when they are going to watch a video on your instance Cloudflare will know what video they watch.

Alright, You close this issue now.

[hackerncoder]

Can't you close it yourself?

Why do you want to close this issue? We aren't restricting instances that are using cloudflare, even https://invidious.kavin.rocks is using cloudflare and there is just a disclaimer about that.

What I didn't like is to stipulate like a marketing speech that you did setup an anti ddos solution but it was just cloudflare. Also, on that note you don't need any anti ddos solution at all but what you need a bit of protection on the layer 7 (HTTP) because people abuse the API of invidious and more. I'm running yewtu.be and I don't have any anti ddos solution.

Yes, Alright know the other instances. It doesn't use only cloudflare but alright i do my own thing i just wanted to get on the instance list. But didn't know all this work for it.

[FireMasterK]

From what I can tell, the only thing preventing you from getting on the instance list is not publishing your modified source code (the reason being the AGPL violation otherwise).

Yeah, I know some modified others did and they are on it. As i said i know the other instances already. (ytprivate etc)

[FireMasterK]

And they have published their sources like so: https://github.com/ytprivatecom/invidious

What prevents you from doing the same?

Yes, Alright know. I was going to do that once i got accepted.

Nothing preventing, You putting words in my mouth just stop.

Yes, i was waiting once i got accepted then i would of uploaded it.

Didn't give chance lol.

[TheFrenchGhosty]

Exactly.
