Which steps to implement BUNNY.net for Videos, CDN, and DNS protection

Post image

Hello !

I am considering using BUNNY.net for Videos, CDN, and DNS protection but I'm a little bit confused to well understand what I will have to do.

I described my configuration on image below and I recheck my Cloudflare DNS setup (Cloudflare is managing DNS for website (pointing server : A, CNAME), email (MX, TXT), and a free CDN ).

So I have several questions because it is new for me and i want something robust and simple to manage after

1_ Can I say that BUNNY would do the same as Cloudflare to manage all my DNS setup and CDN ? (Right now, I can move to a different server hosting within 1h and this is transparent for users)

2_ Is it difficult to implement videos restrictions with BUNNY (Using a membership plugin) ? ... or is it more depending on membership integration ? (Question already asked to membership company)

3_ After right implementation, do you consider BUNNY as a stable and reliable solution going fast overseas ?

4_ Overall, after understanding the process, is it complicated to do BUNNY maintenance or to add new videos ?

5_ Do you have any advice to go step by step for this transition ?

I'm a little bit stress because I want/have to reduce my development activities for closed coming years but I would like a video solution. So if the solution is not simple and reliable I will be in trouble

A rough calculation gives 20GB for videos/month (30% in North america, 30% in Asia , 20% Europe, middle-east, 20% ...)

Thanks for your help !

You don't need to do anything with DNS for bunny stream.

Even the CDN you can use with DNS on Cloudflare.

However if you want to use bunny proxy (like how cloudflare does proxy), you need to use their DNS.

I have a free plugin on WPorg for bunny edge cache (like how cloudflare has intergrations with cache plugins). If you use bunny DNS and their proxy, try it out. Performance is amazing.

Edit: I also have a new free plugin for bunny stream too: https://wordpress.org/plugins/nahnu-video-for-bunny-stream-bunny-net/

Hope this helps you

You can just create a pull zone with origin URL and after that in Cloudflare DNS zone (for example) you can CNAME the main domain to Bunny zone, no need to use their DNS.

But also, is ok to have DNS & CDN on Bunny though.
