I'm passing off a 2 second AI query as my own 😂 Alternatives to Cloudflare Tunnel For ease of use and features: ngrok: A popular and feature-rich option for developers, it's known for being easy to set up and use, offering features like TLS tunnels. LocalTunnel: A straightforward and easy-to-use tool for quickly exposing a local port to the internet. Pinggy: A simple and accessible alternative for creating tunnels. For private networks: Tailscale: Ideal for securely connecting your own devices in a peer-to-peer network, often used for accessing a home lab or NAS. Unlike Cloudflare Tunnel, which acts as a reverse proxy, Tailscale creates a private network that only your devices can join. For self-hosted and maximum control: Pangolin: A self-hosted solution that combines features of Cloudflare Tunnels and other tools like Traefik using WireGuard for a high degree of control over your infrastructure. Traefik: A modern reverse proxy that can be used to build self-hosted solutions similar to Cloudflare Tunnel, giving you full control over your setup. Other options: LocalXpose: Another alternative for tunneling. Zrok: A self-hosted option with a focus on privacy and easy sharing.
Put tailscale on your machine Run a vps, the cheapest one you can find Put tailscale there Write a caddy config that routes traffic to your home server via tailscale. Problem solved
Do you pay for static IP? With some ISPs that is part of the agreement and so maybe the new ISP is breaching yours...
IPv4s finally got expensive enough that it became worth it for legacy carriers to transition networks over to CGNAT, at least if they’re already redoing it like in an acquisition. Sucks…
