Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel?

  Seems some people here advocate for a VPS, and I do it as well. I pay roughly 7€ a month for a small(ish) server with 4 cpu cores, 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. That allows me to host a few services there, for example some websites and matrix chat, which I don’t want to go down if there’s an issue at home. And it allows me to do the reverse proxying there, so I have the entire chain under my control. But there’s many ways to do it, and several other tunneling solutions (boringproxy.io, nohost.me, pagekite, ngrok, …) that I heard of.

  And a lot of home internet connections allow port-forwarding. Notbsure what your provider does, but I can simply open ports in my router and make them accessible from the outside, no VPS or Cloudflare needed.
