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!
Yeah, any solution is going to require at least egress rules for its traffic. Tailscale is a bit different since part of what it’s able to do is provide access to your LAN, if desired. Cloudflare just needs two ports, but it’s only providing a tunnel from the host.
