Cloudflare tunnels are an interesting alternative, self hosted but with external security

Self hosted but with big tech having a backdoor into your local network, having your ssl private key, and dictating the terms and conditions of what you self host.

I've never understood selfhosters fascination with cloudflare. They have some cool products but I have a feel 2026/27 is the time they start to show their evolving colours

cloudflare should never be trusted after what they did to kiwifarms.

What did they do to them?

They were defending Kiwifarms for awhile but then the pressure became too much and then they blocked them.

So are they bad because they didn't block them for a long time or are they bad because they did block them eventually?

So you were ok with what they did to 8chan and the daily stormer but kiwifarms is where you draw the line??
