Comment on How to reverse proxy?

  The funnel exposes your local services to the public over https . Like what you want to accomplish with reverse proxy . Its just more straightforward for a beginner.

  Personally I closed my router ports and switched to tailscalr funnels after using caddy with mutual TLS for years.

    they did not say they want it public, and that’s an additional security burden they may not need

      He he didnt but ghats what he meant

      I mean 99% of users use reverse proxy for https public access

      Also read the threat replies …

      That’s what this thread is about

        if that’s true, I assume it is because they don’t know about the security consequences, nor about more secure ways. and for 99% that is the worst solution, because they won’t tighten security with a read only filesystem, DMZ and whatnot, worse, they won’t be patching their systems on schedule, but maybe in a year.

        99% users should not expose any public services other than wireguard or something based on it. on a VPS the risk my be lower, but on a home network, hell no!

    maybe silly question but does tailscale tunnel operate in a similar fashion to a cloud flare tunnel? as in you can remotely access your internal service over https?
