CF Tunnel

Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i'm stumbling around in the dark when i'm trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P

Hey, I don't really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.

I'll update you once I do.

May I ask why you prefer Cloudflare tunnels over regular port forwarding + dynamic DNS? Except if you are behind CGNAT, in my opinion letting Cloudflare read all your data kind of breaks the whole privacy aspect of self hosting.

[–] maya329 2 points 2 years ago

Cloudflare is the only service that I trust enough with my data. My domain names are also hosted there, so there's no reason not to make use of Cloudflare's CDN and security vs having to harden my own server all the time, or spinning up instances all over the world for faster access and keeping it all updated at all times. I'm also using CrowdSec as a backup behind Cloudflare.

I'm not behind a CGNAT, and I also have a static IP. However, I think Cloudflare's Zero Trust is good enough since I'm already using their Cloudflare masking. No reason not to do it considering I have access behind most of my services.
