I read a comment on here some time ago where the person said they were using cloudflared to expose some of their self-hosted stuff to the Internet so they can access it remotely.

I am currently using it to expose my RSS feed reader, and it works out fine. I also like the simplicity of Cloudflare’s other offerings.

Any thoughts on why cloudflared is not a good idea? What alternatives would you suggest? How easy/difficult are they to setup?

    Cloudflare is a business and if they see more value in selling you out, and legally you agreed they may, then they will.

    Exactly. My whole point is that there’s no value in selling you out. Their whole strategy is to garner favor with privacy conscious individuals like your good self.

    Acting “antiethical”

    You realise antiethical is not a word right?

    I would pay you $5 monthly for all the data going through your tunnel

    I don’t actually use any cloudflare products. However, I believe this is more or less the crux of our delightful tête-à-tête: how do you propose to derive value from my data?
