Cloudflare Tunnel? (lemmy.world)

Just getting started with self hosting. I was wondering if anyone had experience with Cloudflare Tunnels for exposing their services to the internet. I like the simplicity and security it offers but don't love the idea of using Cloudflare. Like, I'm self hosting for a reason lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

For context, I'm running all of my services in a very small k8s cluster and my priorities are mostly security then maintainability. Thanks yall!

EDIT: yall are great! Thank you so much for the replies. I'm going try my luck with pangolin but its good to know I have options.

I just found out about cloudflared, it looks straightforward but you need a cloudflare account to use it. IDK what (if anything) they charge for it.

I have generally just used a VPS for this. I've done it through an ssh reverse proxy which is pretty crappy, but a more serious approach would use iptables forwarding or wireguard or whatever the current hotness is.

No, there's a very generous free tier on CF.
