  They are a plague with how prevalent they have become.

  The internet shouldn’t put all its eggs into one basket.

  It’s just another centralized entity which will lead to monopolized power. It goes against what we are trying to do with federated networks like Lemmy and mastodon.

    I prefer to use products and services before inevitable enshittification, not after the curve.

  You can use frp to do the same thing a CloudFlare tunnel does without giving them your unencrypted data.

    It’s definitely not the same thing. I do understand reservations behind usage free-tier services from Big Bad Corp., but I don’t understand malicious reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.

      It literally does the same thing, except it’s self hosted?

        No public server required at all

        • CF: Yes

        • frp: No

        DDoS protection, WAF, and automatic SSL

        • CF: Yes

        • frp: No

        Access controls and auth

        • CF: built-in Zero Trust

        • frp: manual setup of token/OIDC

        Managed DNS

        • CF: Yes

        • frp: No

        Built in security tools

        • CF: Yes

        • frp: No

        ---

        Just like I said - prevalent reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.

  While not supportive of Big Tech, I do appreciate your piece of advice, and understand self-hosting needs differ!

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Again, attack targets end users, not Cloudflare tunnel operators: It abuses Cloudflare Tunnels as a delivery mechanism for malware payloads, not as a method to compromise or attack people who are self-hosting their own services through Cloudflare Tunnels.
