So, with the Cloudflare outage, I have found my self hosted services are not accessible outside of the home. I use a SWAG reverse proxy from linuxserver.io and bought my domain through cloudflare. I'm fairly new at this stuff, so is this a secure way of doing things? Does cloudflare have access to my data? I'm fairly new at this, so I apologize if this is a silly question. Is there some way to self host what cloudflare does?

Those don't exist, afaic.

Caveat: I am unsure if Cloudflare will let you use other nameservers or if you are required to use theirs. I do know that if you use their Tunnel/ZeroTrust, you have to use their nameservers, but you can buy a domain from anywhere.

Yes, you can self host your own DNS. Bind, PowerDNS, Pi-Hole + unbound, Technitium has emerged as a new favorite, so there are options. I think you can selfhost AdGuard DNS tho the blocking service is a paid tier.
