I use my Raspberry pi to proxy any cloud video to my LG Smart TV, at native resolution, using rclone mount and Emby Media server. It's great. I can play 4K 100mbit videos from my cloud drives directly on the TV.

Side note, you can also use cloudflare free for dns, it's easy to setup.

And cloud flare can block some of the mischievous web traffic too

Yes, exactly. Despite the fact that my domain is not listed anyone online, cloudflare dashboard says they blocked 1000s of attempts last month.

Eh, doubt. My guess is they're bumping those numbers based on people hitting the cloudflare edge IP not your particular DNS name.

Do you have your origin whitelisted to cloudflares edge ranges? If not it can be hilariously easy to get around cloudflare (ex: Hamas.ps is behind cloudflare but runs on Hetzner https://censys.io/ipv4?q=hamas.ps)

Excuses me for being ignorant but why would you need a DNS to stream from a cloud drive?

[nihonium]

Sorry for misunderstanding, you don't need to. My comment about the DNS was about OP's use of no-ip.
