Comment on How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare?
chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net 5 months agoCloudflare tunnel is a thin client that runs on your machine to Cloudflare; when there’s a request from outside to Cloudflare, it relays it via the established tunnel to the machine. As such, your machine only need outbound internet access (to Cloudflare servers) and no need for inbound access (I.e. port forwarding).

Thank you for your reply, but i actually was asking about the network stuff 😅
I used to use cloudflare tunnels for many years, now i’m a bit too tin foiled to use any cloudflare 😅

Ah sorry I went down the wrong rabbit hole.
I’d imagine an isolated VLAN should be sufficient good starting point to prevent anyone from stumbling on to it locally, as well as any potential external intruder stumbling out of it?
