Cloudflare Tunnel
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I use Cloudflare tunnels; I've a second Ingress controller configured on my clusters that has a tunnel set up... It works like a dream, and also allows me to do things like the global load-balancing
- I'd recommend cloudflare tunnels to start out with. They're easy to set up and require no port forwarding.
- They could have solved their SSL issues with cloud flare tunnels at basically zero cost.
- there are free solutions like cloudflare tunnels or Tailscale for your usecase.
- Might want to take a look at Cloudflare tunnels, might solve some of your use cases
Cons
- Only a few are actually exposed via Cloudflare tunnels and the rest are on my Tailscale tailnet, much like the at-home homelab access.
- If I’m out and need access to my internal lan/services I use a combination of tailscale and cloudflare tunnels to a virtualized jump host as the main ingress point.
- The only fly in the ointment is Plex. Cloudflare doesn’t like you caching video on their tunnels.

I use cloudflare tunnels and their zero trust product to protect things
This service seems to be perfect for hosting the apps that I access over HTTP. It seems like it'll be an in place replacement for my current reverse proxy with the added benefit of masking my IP address.
