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!

I know some people dislike NetworkChuck but this video should help you get things going.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/ey4u7OUAF3c

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

No I don’t. I get he isn’t to everyone’s taste but his videos I think are enjoyable because he obviously has enthusiasm and I e set up a home lab running proxmox, a load balancer, monitoring software and a heap of other stuff because of him.
