I read a comment on here some time ago where the person said they were using cloudflared to expose some of their self-hosted stuff to the Internet so they can access it remotely.
I am currently using it to expose my RSS feed reader, and it works out fine. I also like the simplicity of Cloudflare’s other offerings.
Any thoughts on why cloudflared is not a good idea? What alternatives would you suggest? How easy/difficult are they to setup?
I use and love zerotier. Just that using it on mobile is a bit of an effort with the VPN. Also, it doesn’t seem to support DNS like cloudflared does? Am I missing something in zerotier or is the only way you can access your servers is by IP address?
You can always use regular DNS and simply point your domain’s records at hosts on your home’s local network and/or the mesh VPN addresses. I do that with Tailscale.
Never done that before. Interesting! Will try that out and see what happens.
I setup AdGuard DNS on the network I host my services on and made Tailscale use it as a second DNS. This let’s me access services using domain names. I’m sure you can do something similar with zerotier but I’ve never used it.
Also, it doesn’t have to be AdGuard DNS. Any DNS will be fine.
