I don’t really get the point of fronting and even caching for 99% of people out there. The analogies don’t really do it for me, do you expect to get DDoSed on a daily basis? That has not been my experience in 15 years of home-hosting. If you have FttH you will be ok in most situations. The only upside I can see is that it can protect against targeted attacks on the crappy modem provided by my ISP. But if such an attack is widespread it will probably hit me anyway.

The advantage with cloudflare tunnel is that you can block all incoming requests via firewall. That alone drastically reduces your attack surface. And your actual location and IP is obfuscated via Cloudflare. I'd imagine these two points are much more important than DDOS Protection and Caching for most people.
