Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way - eviltoast

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I’ve scoured the internet and didn’t find a complete guide.

      I’ve set up some tunnels. Works nice but then the voices came. ‘Why would you trust a company like Cloudflare with all your data?’ ‘Why rely on this one company for all your services?’

      Nearly a year into my selfhosting journey and I’m more confused than ever.

      Yeah it’s a popular choice for various things. But wouldn’t it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?

        gotta admit I haven’t read the ToS, but I didn’t encounter any problems. I’m streaming GBs of music via the tunnel and it still works. p2p I didn’t try, but I don’t really see a reason to?

          Just remember that Cloudflare decrypts and re-encrypts all your data, so they can read absolutely everything that passes through those tunnels.

          Huh, good to know. I’m out remember some of us have traffic in the TBs pretty month!
