One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

I currently have a Wireguard server setup on my router with the client on my phone that connects automatically any time I leave home (thanks Tasker!). This is essentially the same as the tail scale setup, right??
Any idea how much that cloudflare tunnel costs?? I'd love to be able to share via a link rather than sending individual pictures, but my current setup really only allows it if that person is connected to my home wifi.
Yep. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood so that setup sounds exactly the same.
The Cloudflare tunnel is free. They don't seem to have a traffic cap either. They'll charge you if you want to use a non apex domain (e.g. subdomain) or if you need their more advanced bot detection/defense products. But a basic/standard setup like what us self hosters have is free.
I'm finally getting around to the cloudflare tunnel and was wondering... Do you have to buy your own domain to make it work? Or do they provide one for free? If so, I can't seem to find the free option in the dashboard. Only to connect, transfer, or buy
