Given the repeat questions you can find here on basics, it’s kind of surprising there doesn’t appear to be a commonly shared FAQ, website, or book going over some of the basics.
E.g. ways to safely connect to home servers over the internet while away, when it may be better to spin up services on a VPS instead, etc.
Have I been overlooking some shared text-based resource concerning the subject, or…?
Also fwiw I did look at the sidebar links, and the awesome-sysadmin link has links to sections for blogs/books, but as of writing this, they were empty sections.
It’s pretty good. I understand and somewhat agree with the concerns about concentrating the web around one company, but tunnels is simply a great product. So convenient for running services behind CGNAT or dynamic IP without good port forwarding options, and it’s just set and forget. If there was an alternative that good I’d use it.
I’ve been using it too, it’s really good and largely transparent. Of course, you can only expose HTTP traffic and you can’t use your own certificates unless you pay (so *.*.domain.tld domains or deeper are a no go on the free plan), but for just normal self hosting it’s the perfect solution.
