Is the NAS exposed to the whole internet? Or did you find a clever way to get CloudFlare in front of it despite it just being local?

- cheema33 2y agoYou can use CloudFlare Tunnel (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/ https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) to connect a system to your cloudflare gateway, without exposing it to the Internet.
- rmbyrro 2y agoOr Tailscale, which is pretty cool piece of tech.
- telgareith 2y agoTailscale is wireguard with advertising, a convenient UI, and a STUN/TURN server.
- calgoo 2y agoexactly, which means setting up a vps, generating certificates, setting up some type of monitoring to make sure the tunnel is working, etc. I agree that wireguard is the best option, if you have the time and knowledge, but for some dev people that just wants to put up a webpage with a few users, tailscale/cloudflare is a much easier system to maintain (especially as it handles ssl for you as well - to some degree...).
- rmbyrro 2y agoI'm aware they wrap OSS, but they made it very, very easy to adopt and maintain for a large chunk of potential users. This requires significant effort and should not be undervalued, in my opinion.
- bambax 2y agoThe web server of the nas is exposed to the Internet (port forwarding of 80 from the router to the nas); the rest of the nas is not exposed / not accessible from outside the LAN. The images that are published are low-res versions copied to a directory on a partition accessible to the web server. This is not the safest solution, as it does punch a hole in the lan... It's kind of an experiment... We'll see how it goes.
- shepherdjerred 2y agoI've used Tailscale funnel which works quite well for this. https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel
