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.

    I heard you can use Pangolin and self host your own tunnel.

    Haven’t looked into it.

      Hosting the tunnel is the only real value add from these services, which is why I’m confused by Pangolin’s business model.

        It is strange.

        The only reason people who use Pangolin is to have control over the tunnel rather than rely on a company.
