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 switched to it because the ISP blocked ports 80/443. It was good and things actually got a bit faster with them handling SSL certs.

but one thing to note is that the free tier has a 100MB file limit. I got around some of that by using the tail scale vpn with a custom domain entry to point to the local network.

I did these changes (wire guard to tail scale, dns to tunnels, etc) at different times, which is why things aren't very consistent.

Why are you involving Cloudflare at all at that point? It sounds like you setup your own "Tunnel" service using Tailscale and/or direct Wireguard already.

cloudflare happened first and I haven't been bothered to change it yet
