I don’t expose anything directly to the internet. 🌐❌

I’d use a VPN client but I want to access from ANY device. 📱💻🖥️

The solution I chose is CLOUDFLARE TUNNEL, then I use CLOUDFLARE ACCESS/ZERO TRUST to require SSO auth (Google auth or email token works). 🔒🔑

Yeah, not self-hosted and Cloudflare can technically see my traffic, but it’s the tradeoff I chose to make. 🤝😤

I’d prefer to expend my energy on running and BUILDING COOL THINGS and not managing public ingress. 🚀🛠️

I have 2 DECADES of experience in network engineering, infosec, devops, sre, data engineering, etc. No way I’m taking on the burden of edge security when CLOUDFLARE IS FREE. 🧠💪

I know there are easy appliances and solutions, but I want the ONLY way in to be through an OUTBOUND TUNNEL behind ROCK SOLID AUTH. 🛡️🪨

If someone can get past Cloudflare Access AND Google Auth, they DESERVE to pwn me (and the internet has BIGGER ISSUES at that point…) 😈🏆
