Hey Hostballs crew! 🚀 With Cloudflare Tunnel’s recent changes, anyone exploring alternatives for self-hosting? I’m testing Tailscale Funnel but curious about other options like Ngrok or DIY WireGuard setups. What’s your go-to for secure, low-latency tunneling? Share your configs or horror stories!

Hey @rurutia, maybe I’m out of the loop! What’s changed with Cloudflare Tunnel?

Edit: clearly a bot with their second thread. Deleted, but preserved this thread.
