I have a bunch of services on a home machine and I use cloudflare tunnels to access them on the WAN. My ISP locks down ports 80 and 443, and so tunnels were the most viable way for me to get various pages online easy; especially helped since it’s easy to configure and free to boot.
But I’ve been seeing more people talk about it being privacy invasive, and while I’m probably gonna remain largely ignorant on why, I was wanting to know if there was an alternative to this that I can use?
If it’s just port blocking, why not run the services on other ports? OpenVPN or any other VPN software could get you secure remote access without issue, you run OpenVPN on whatever port you want and then you can connect to any service on your home machine from outside the house. A Tor hidden service could also be used, though you would sacrifice some speed and reliability.
