I recently set up a tunnel connecting to my NAS using cloudflare.

I was able to connect to it remotely from work.

I at first I was excited that I got it working but then It terrified me that I was able to easily connect to it.

Is this safe? How likely is it for someone to find my tunnels?

How can I make this service more secure?

If you're planning to expose a server to a world wide audience Cloudflare is a great choice. However, if it's just for you and maybe a few selected friends or family members, consider getting a free Zerotier or TailScale account. You'll have complete control as to who has access.
