So everyone is talking about cloudflare tunnels and I decided to give it a shot.

However, I find the learning curve quite hard and would really appreciate a short introduction into how they work and how do I set them up…

In my current infrastructure I am running a reverse proxy with SSL and Authentik, but nothing is exposed outside. I access my network via a VPN but would like to try out and consider CF. Might be easier for the family.

How does authentication work? Is it really a secure way to expose internal services?

Thanks!

    Personally, I just wireguard in to my local net. No need to have CF snooping where they don’t need to.

    It all depends on your use cases and what you (or your users) need to access.

      One of my considerations is the privacy side… VPN or self hosted solution seems to be the waay better choice in that case.
