Good luck with CF's Tunnel. It may have been the complexity of my network at work, but I wasted a day trying to get that to work. Endless web setup 'wizards' and clicking around different components and their settings in the CF portal. It felt like trying to build out a moderately complicated cloud infra environment.
Tailscale is dead simple, even to create 'routers' that act more like a VPN appliance inside your network. It really does feel like something Apple would've come out with in their hayday: missing advanced features for power users, but is somehow able to deliver what feels like magic with minimal setup.
- Toutouxc 2y agoI'm very happy with Cloudflare Tunnel on the free tier. Setting it up didn't feel that complex, you just install a client app, link it to your account/domain and then go through their equivalent of setting up nginx, i.e. assign hostnames to ports, and you can even do that through the web interface. Yes, Cloudflare has tons of functionality you probably won't need and their dashboards can be several layers deep, but just setting up the tunnel with HTTPS and some basic security takes one evening at most.
