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!
What I’m doing is using a dedicated VPN Gateway container. The instances running delicate services have a static default route to the GW-container.
This is an extra step, but allows me add easily route other services or clients or even whole networks through my VPN without additional setup or specialized containers bundling both.
Wanna use it on the phone? Change the gateway address. Wanna use it from my Linux machine? Add a static default route. Etc…
