Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Cloudflare ironically has a VPN-ish service that no one talks about called Cloudflare Warp.
I sometimes use it to access piratebay since it't ban where I live.
WARP (a client) just connects you to CF's network.
If your server is running
cloudflared(an outbound-only tunnel) then you can enroll your WARP client to reach your server, while your server is never accessible on the public web. That's the principal behind Zero Trust.While techinically yes, WARP can be considered as a VPN, it is just a secure tunnel to an endpoint. In which case you can argue any point-to-point tunnel is a VPN.
Warp is 2 products. A wireguard-go VPN that changes your IP and uses cloudflare's network instead of your ISP. This service doesn't necessarily require the 1.1.1.1 app (desktop app is called cloudflared) since it's just Wireguard under the hood.
And Warp is also a VPN tunnel that allows you to reach services hosted on Cloudflare's network with their client cloudflared as you just described. This allows you to make any service available on the internet and further manage its access using Cloudflare's firewall options or Zero Trust for secure private applications.
The latter use is more popular than the former in my observance since not many people I know aside from the Chinese use it as a VPN. (mainly for circumventing their national firewall).
