I have a bunch of services on a home machine and I use cloudflare tunnels to access them on the WAN. My ISP locks down ports 80 and 443, and so tunnels were the most viable way for me to get various pages online easy; especially helped since it’s easy to configure and free to boot.
But I’ve been seeing more people talk about it being privacy invasive, and while I’m probably gonna remain largely ignorant on why, I was wanting to know if there was an alternative to this that I can use?
Are you exposing those services so that stangers can also access them, or it’s mostly about you and relatives using those services?
If it’s for mostly private use, you could set up a mesh VPN network using Wireguard, or if you want something easier to manage you could look at Tailscale.
That way you’d also limit exposure of these services to the Internet and therefore minimize the risk of a security breach.
