Both. I have things that I host simply for fun, but most of my homelab is for experimentation.
I practice with different technologies so I can try to learn how they work.
Oh yeah, got rid of the damn thing within 30 minutes of registering but it was too late. I assume bots grab that info as soon as it’s posted.
Probably got pushed to the larger system.
There’s more than one entity that controls WHOIS information. Typically as soon as WHOIS information gets published it gets copied into a bunch of different registries so you have to contact them all and have them remove the information
Two questions upfront.
- Does your Netgear router support being a VPN client?
- Does it have a guest mode?
If the answer to both of those is yes then you could consider using the guest mode as your VPN network.
If not then your best option is probably 2. You could get a router which supports OpenWRT or use a different enterprise style router like pfsense.
I the same thing you’re asking about in pfsense where I routed one VLAN over a VPN while leaving my main LAN completely normal.
Why not just use the Cloudflare Tunnels command line binary?
It can automatically create the CNAMEs
Cloudflare tunnels being unsafe for exposing your locally hosted services to the web
That’s the pout of Cloudflare Tunnels. It’s a reverse proxy.
Cloudflare Auth (zero trust) can lock down the tunnel so only certain people can access it.
I want to clarify something though. Cloudflare Tunnels IS SAFE. But if you choose to use it in a not safe way that’s not the fault of the tunnel.
It’s like putting on a bicycle helmet and then running on the freeway and wondering why your leg gets broken after getting hit by a car.
“but I was wearing my helmet” great, but that wasn’t the point of the helmet.

My wife and I each take a lot of random photos and screenshots and things we don’t want to share with each other (and we probably don’t want to be bothered with each other’s random stuff), so we don’t want to just do something like turn on Partner Sharing on Google Photos.
You can specify what gets shared with partner sharing. My wife and I have partner sharing set up so that it automatically shares photos of our kids with each other but not anything else.
