  That’s always a danger.

  You could host the server on its own vlan and use tailscale to tunnel from a VPS to your server. This way your IP isn’t exposed to the public. You can also add crowdsec or similar on the VPS.

  I do the same thing with traefik on my dirt cheap VPS.

  You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

  This is the way.

  Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also Cloudflare adds a caching layer, often physically closer to users. Increasing speed of delivery and reducing server costs. It’s a no-brainer for server admins.

  Also, I don’t work for Cloudflare either. The animosity is new to me, and certainly something I’ll look into.

  I’ve heard a lot of good things about reolink cameras on self hosting communities. But anything that supports rtsp will likely be ok.
