If you self-host, it's better, but it's still not great. The people would then know the IP address of your server that you were hosting it on, so you'd have to make sure it was a VPS and not done from home.

You could also put it behind a cloudflare proxy subdomain, right? That way it looks like the origin ip comes from cloudflare

Ugh, Yes, you could. But, Cloudflare.

What about using a normal, non-Cloudflare VPS for this?
