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.

Over cloudflare, it's knowing you're the man in the middle and not some company. It has a few other things like zero trust, and an authentication layer.

I use racknerd for VPS and it's about $35/year. So definitely one of the cheapest part of my home lab.

Vs Cloudflare I agree. Giving up the MitM isn't an acceptable trade off in my opinion either.

The Racknerd $35/yr seems to be the 500MB RAM VPS with a 500GB/mo network data limit. That's probably sufficient power for a wireguard endpoint for ingress, but that's pretty low network data limit if you're putting a media server behind it (10GB/hr of video isn't unexpected, data is counted twice when having to ingress+egress thru the endpoint=25 hours of quality video per month)

Use the their New Year deals and get 7000 gb monthly transfer with 3.5 GB RAM. Only $32.49/year

Check out racknerdtracker.com to see all past deals that can still be used.

If you just go for bandwidth, I guess 4TB for $10.29/year sounds good: https://racknerdtracker.com/?product=810%2F1-gb-kvm-vps-a-must-grab-deal---leb-exclusive
