Comment on Good guides for the security you need to set up for self hosting?

You can use cloudflare tunnels which skips having to open ports and can also proxy the connection so people can’t find your home IP address depending on what services you’re setting up

What’s the notice?

People don’t like centralizing the Internet in a single service. There’s nothing wrong with the product. It works great and is much more secure than opening ports in your home network. This community is just more biased toward decentralization and privacy, which is a common reason for people to start self hosting.
I think wireguard can allow you to set up a similar external connection with some extra steps. This would remove Cloudflare from the loop.

Oh got it, I use wire guard as a VPN for services that only I need but for things I share with multiple people I use cloudflare tunnel after learning about it from youtube tutorials
