Honestly Cloudflare Tunnels could be a very simple way to do it. I’ve always had tremendous luck with it. By using CF you can let them do all the heavy lifting instead of hosting your own… as long as you trust them.

You can use frp to do the same thing a CloudFlare tunnel does without giving them your unencrypted data.

It’s definitely not the same thing. I do understand reservations behind usage free-tier services from Big Bad Corp., but I don’t understand malicious reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.

It literally does the same thing, except it’s self hosted?

No public server required at all

  • CF: Yes

  • frp: No

DDoS protection, WAF, and automatic SSL

  • CF: Yes

  • frp: No

Access controls and auth

  • CF: built-in Zero Trust

  • frp: manual setup of token/OIDC

Managed DNS

  • CF: Yes

  • frp: No

Built in security tools

  • CF: Yes

  • frp: No

Just like I said - prevalent reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.
