I've been using Cloudflare Tunnel for the past 6 months. I was skeptical at first and I’m still somewhat skeptical now, mainly because CF terminates TLS on their end which means it's not truly E2EE. In theory, this gives Cloudflare the ability to view sensitive data (like my Firefly III instance or Baikal data), even if they claim not to.
I use Nginx Proxy Manager internally to manage my network proxies.
I'm looking for privacy respecting alternatives that support real E2EE & work without requiring port forwarding, as my router doesn’t support it. Ideally free, or with a minimal fee.
I'd also appreciate any advice on how to make my data less accessible to Cloudflare while still using their tunnel service, if such mitigations exist.
Or... if someone can talk me down and convince me I’m being overly paranoid and not worth the attention of a company like CF, I’ll take that too. 😅
Thanks in advance!
