So is this basically a ngrok from CF?

I want this with TOTP or passkeys. Just giving me a hostname doesn't cut it these days.

It looks like tunnels can do some non https stuff these days? But it's a bit unclear

The number of vibe coded apps accidentally hosted on dev laptops is about to explode.

So... Cloudflare built Ngrok?

Off-topic: That web page looks exactly like my vibe-coded utilities.

i find it hard to read any text when the site has many animations that can't be stopped

I like Cloudflare Tunnels a lot, but something that annoys me is that officially you're not allowed to use them for streaming video, meaning I can't put it in front of my Jellyfin without breaking TOS.

I think that rule is more of a "we reserve the right to..." rule, but it makes me sad because I'd rather not open up ports on my router to expose my Jellyfin to my parents.

I discovered and set this up the other day, added jellyfin, immich and forgejo and was really happy about the result for five minutes, before I discovered that limitation in the TOS. Now I only use it for forgejo. Have you found a different solution to exposing jellyfin?

I have a proxy set up with the Oracle Always Free VMs they provide. It works well enough.

For free idk, I personally use a VPS (with unlimited traffic) and Tailscale. Someone has to pay for the public IP and proxy.

i just use wireguard or tailscale, provision a subdomain with a custom ssl and resolve to a nat ip.

Bandwidth costs money and streaming video costs several orders of magnitude more than just your random web/dev apps. Asking CF to foot the bill for entertainment streaming is really quite a lot.

I know. I'm not "upset" over it, just that it makes the service less useful for me.

You can put nginx with basic auth in front of jellyfin

Use pangolin (you can self host), been using it for a while and it’s great, under the hood it’s a vpn+reverse proxy which you can do yourself too. In pangolin you can have public or private resources, where private ones you need to authenticate through pangolin first (either pass or others like pin number for your parents so easy to remember). When you link your domain for public ones, I suggest you make a sub domain for it, so your apps will be a sub to your subdomain, that way you keep control of your main domain while having automatic assignment for your apps rather than manually, and if you didn’t issue a certificate, that sub.subdomain is basically invisible on the internet unless you host a service to expose it.

I'm not sure how safe this is...

vibe coded app with may be no security and now available from the internet for anyone to RCE into my laptop?

Ah yes. We can't let self hosted app traffic flow across the Internet in a way that escapes the vast Internet surveillance system run by the Americans called Cloudflare.

Hmm, Tailscale is too convenient and that traffic is going dark from Cloudflare's all seeing eye.
