Screw Tailscale, ZeroTier and specially cloudflare, all centralized, all with changable terms.
Use a VPS, lowest spec but good bandwidth, and use Wireguard VPN for your VPS and homeserver, and nginx or caddy to make a Reverse Proxy
I'm so close to doing this. Cloudflare makes me nervous. Have you heard of Rathole? That was recommended to basically do what my cloudflared tunnel is already doing. The only trouble I could see was I was going to have to keep the cloudflared access controls.
All agreed but not every homelabber can spend money for something that is not the main job or contributed to work. Tailscale for now works well enough for free.
Cloudflare agreed is not something I would trust.
You can get some pretty cheap ones like sub $10/year. My current ones 2 cpu 3.5gb ram 64gb ssd for $33 a year.
Where are you finding rates like that? Racknerds’ cheapest option is around that price but doesn’t even have 1 full gig of ram.
https://lowendbox.com/ I have used their deals every time I needed a server. One time I had a cheap rack nerd server on hdds then they migrated years later to free ssd upgrade haha
