Why do I have such relative ease of exposing services over the internet compared to others. - eviltoast

I’ll admit I’ve only really been doing all of this fun self-hosting stuff for about 4 years now but I have been learning computer since Apple II. With my local fiber internet I have a static IP address and seem to have no barriers to expose my hosted websites to the internet. I’ve never used cloudfare and can’t imagine why I would need it. Use NGINX reverse proxy manager at both home and work. Some people have to jump through all these hoops and I’m just curious to know what situations necessitate all the extra hassle.

    Been trying to expose my nextcloud server remotely for a week now - truenas scale to cloudflare tunnel. I need a friend who’s good at this shit. Every guide I go through leaves out major steps and I find myself needing to keep learning and getting different aspects of my setup dialed in.

    Bought a domain, added ddns to OPNsense, setup letsencrypt certs, etc. Now traefik ingress is the thing that’s most confusing to me. Added certissuer to add certs to my k8s. Now I get errors when trying to clusterip and reference certs. I’ll get it one day …I hope.
