Finished securing all my domains emails

Happy new Islamic Year / Hijree year 1441 for all the Muslims around the world...

As the year goes by, my computer was hacked in March and again my emails got hacked in July...I have no choice but to increase the security of my online accounts and block some of my friends in Facebook® although I felt painful to do that but there is no other choice...

Last year I noticed and took over two Facebook® fake accounts created using my very old and unused emails...Also last year my Facebook® accounts got hacked...Before that my Instagram® account was hacked...

Although I try my best to use the internet safely as much as possible as I can, my computer network, computer systems, Wi-Fi might get hacked at anytime without I even knowing about it...An it keeps going like this since I started to use my own internet fiber network from November 2017 afterwards...

I have now changed the Name Servers of two of my domains to Hurricane Electric® Internet Services, which is U.S. based internet backbone and collocation provider...The other four domains are still in Cloudflare®...

I have finished cleaning the DNS (Domain Name System) records of all my domains...

I have now enabled SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and DMARC (Domain Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance) to all of my domains so that the emails of all these six domains I own are protected against phishing, spamming, spoofing, and also to ensure better delivery when I send emails...

I deployed DMARC records slowly which is recommended by Google®, and DKIM selector is Google® since I use the free legacy G Suite® for all my domain emails...

All these are TXT records to be added in the DNS of the domain...Cloudflare®s web user interface has changed and the TTL (Time To Live) has the option to "Auto" which previously named "Automatic" which is my preferred TTL (Time To Live).

In these screenshots of HE® the green lines of the network global map are submarine cables and the blue lines are HE® internet backbone circuits...

I have been slowly doing these works since late July this year and now finally I think it's completed...I did the testing using the free services of  mxtoolbox.com .
