Cloudflare tunnels are super convenient and provide lots of auth mechanisms. If you set up a tunnel using cloudflared and proxy the IP through cloudflare, there's nothing even exposed directly to the internet. You can even have different auth requirements for urls (like /admin) or punch holes for stuff like webhooks.

I have set up quite a few as kubernetes pods that direct to private hostnames in different namespaces and pretty happy with it for internal apps.

I am starting to wonder if cloudflare tunnel are not a little too much trust put into cloudflare.

They effectively are decrypting your entire traffic then, including login credentials. It’s a little scary…
