Just use Cloudflare Tunnels if you're opening it up to the Internet.
Use tailscale if only using your own personal devices.
Both easy to setup in 5 minutes.
Why keep giving cloudflare a monopoly of the internet traffic? Isn't the whole self-hosting movement about breaking out of the tech giants' shenanigans and promoting a healthy alternative with a decentralized and robust internet?
I honestly don't care. I just self host as a way to not be locked into google specifically. So if I ever do decide to switch to something else outside of Cloudflare or Tailscale, I can. By the way, I tried to set up Wireguard and I felt like I had to have a degree in engineering to get it to work. Then I tried wg-easy and that didn't work. Went to the github and seen it had like 300 issues. I like stuff that just works and I don't have to spend hours tinkering with.
