  • Fair question. It’s definitely within my ability to “just” swap to something else, I’d prefer something self hosted that’s foss. I will do it at some point, cf was a bit of a stop gap for me.

    CF tunnels are similar to reverse proxies I believe. I started using their quick tunnels to expose things to the web and I found it very easy. A few things I wanted to host needed domains so I bought a domain from cf and get access to the permanent tunnels. Their tools are good and I know them from being the company that you call when you get ddos’d. I figured it would keep me safer while I was still figuring things out.

    I feel like in my case I used them because of my ignorance. I know of openvpn i’ll look into it.
