    I don’t know if cloudflare can do this, but I have a different DDNS + Let’s Encrypt setup and I configure my router to set the same local domain as the public domain (in openwrt it’s local server + local domain although I’m not aware of the distinction between the two). So when requests are sent over LAN (or over a VPN) the router points me to the LAN device directly, rather than needing to go through external DNS. HTTPS still works since to the client it’s the same domain as the certificate is linked to.

    Hope that makes sense as I haven’t fully got my head around it. I just know it works (indeed I just disabled my internet to test, and the services are still accessible over HTTPS).
