How do I safely expose my internal network using cloudflare? (alien.top)

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?

How did you connect? SSH? Are there other services you are accessing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, no, no!!!

Public access to services like a website: Cloudflare Tunnel
Restricted access to just a few users: Cloudflare Tunnel + Cloudflare Application
Exclusive restricted access the infrastructure: Tailscale

I didn't use tunnels for my homelab.

So long as everyone in the room consents, I think you should be alright.

Historically, if kids are involved... That's pretty bad.

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.
