Auli@twit.social 4 days ago@qaz @Darkassassin07 what are you even saying? Ip address doesn’t expose where you live. And better get off the internet right now if your concern is exposing your ip cause it was never secret to begin with.
Tunnels stop you from opening a port so nothing is exposed openly to the internet but it does not keep your ip private.
How do you imagine that geoblocking content works if IP addresses don’t expose where you live?

qaz could be using any of dozens of different methods to obfuscate their IP from the wider internet to write their comment, Tor or a VPN to name just a couple.

This is incorrect, CF tunnels (and services like it e.g. ngrok) rely on proxy servers that forward traffic based on HTTP host headers. The IP of the site will therefore have the IP of the company’s proxy server instead of your own.
