Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel?

I’m using Pangolin, which is the current hotness. It’s somewhat like cloud flare tunnels, but you need a VPS (find a cheap one). That tunnels back to your house. I opted into using crowdsec as another later. It’s a part of their setup process.

So what benefit does Pangolin actually provide then if you already have to provide the VPS? Routing back to your network from a VPS is trivially easy, it’s getting the affordable VPS (given bandwidth prices) that’s actually the sticking point of any solution.

Over cloudflare, it’s knowing you’re the man in the middle and not some company. It has a few other things like zero trust, and an authentication layer.
I use racknerd for VPS and it’s about $35/year. So definitely one of the cheapest part of my home lab.

The Racknerd $35/yr seems to be the 500MB RAM VPS with a 500GB/mo network data limit. That’s probably sufficient power for a wireguard endpoint for ingress, but that’s pretty low network data limit if you’re putting a media server behind it (10GB/hr of video isn’t unexpected, data is counted twice when having to ingress+egress thru the endpoint=25 hours of quality video per month)

Use the their New Year deals and get 7000 gb monthly transfer with 3.5 GB RAM. Only $32.49/year

Vs Cloudflare I agree. Giving up the MitM isn’t an acceptable trade off in my opinion either.
