Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.
That bring said… I just moved my homeserver to another city… and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.
Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.
Why do they have to make it so so easy…
That’s only true if you set the encryption mode to “flexible”.
If you have your own https cert then you can use the “strict” encryption mode, which doesn’t expose anything to cloudflare.
