What is the issue you’re encountering

I want to use my own server insetad of Cloudflare.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

So, what I want is just the bots Cloudflare offers. I am not interested in using their servers with limitations they have. If I could use both the servers and the one I have already, that’d be fine. But I don’t like limitations there are on Cloudflare that proxies have. I would prefer just using my main server with bots, but without use of proxies themselves.

Is there a way for me to use the features without cloudflare changing server’s original settings they have?

Are you asking if you can use bot protection without the proxy? If so, the answer is no. Your website requests must pass through Cloudflare first for any protections and rules to be applied.

What limitations are there for your application?

with stuff like manual panels there are too many limits.

for example, file size limit oh cloudflare which seem to cap at 100 MB, 500 MB and a gigabyte for uploading which is unecessary.

But if I don’t even have proxies on I don’t know why it should exist and stuff like that makes it impossible for personal management for your server.

You can upload files in chunks to stay within the limits, or use a subdomain set to “DNS only” just for the uploads.

But as I said, if you don’t want to use the proxy you can’t use Cloudflare’s features as it’s the only way they can be applied to your traffic.

Okay, I have question. if I set it to DNS only will all cloudflare changes be OFF?

Using “DNS only” means requests will go from the client direct to your origin server and not pass through Cloudflare. Cloudflare will be used for DNS only.
