You can get virtual server for $4/month. Installing proprietary software and registering to some service, that may "upgrade" to premium tier anytime, is pretty off-putting.

Managing expectations re:v2 has been a total failure on our part. We put far too many things in one basket. But the work is still happening. Learning moment for us: don't give timelines and don't reveal too much. Just say "when it's finished." Only Elon Musk can use Elon Time(tm). :) Edit: we also promised some things that are just brutally hard, like fully decentralizing the root backplane via full data set replicat…
FWIW your "decentralize until it hurts, then centralize until it works" is one of my favorite slogans, and I appreciate y'all making the effort.
I also hate the way scammy cryptocurrency shonk has sucked all the air out of the room on this topic, especially since most of "web3" is not even decentralized. Most of it goes through a few companies' centralized hubs. Total hot air. I'm thinking about trying to coin a new term for actual decentralization.

This seems to be the license for cloudflared. But when you use cloudflared to create a tunnel via cloudflare network, aren't you also bound to Cloudflare's ToS because the software itself is useless without using the service provided by Cloudflare?
I am literally Cloudflare's CTO. I'm pretty sure I know that using Cloudflare Tunnel for SSH isn't a violation of our service.

#124Can we stop posting stuff that makes even more people give the keys of their house to the BigCorp cartel?
Why is it always the free software people who are the most judgemental about what I do with my software and who I trust with my time and money? AWS and Microsoft never gave a shit about what other vendors I'm in bed with. I like your GNU license, I do not like your GNU license people.

#126Why not just run Wireguard on a raspberry pi, set up DDNS to send your home IP to a Dynamic DNS provider (if you're on a dynamic IP), and then SSH to your machines at home using keys (instead of passwords)? Setting up a Pi and running the Wireguard install script is about half an hour of work.

#127shameless self-promotion: https://sshreach.me We have a ssh reverse-forwarding based solution. And unlike the Cloudflare solution you don't need to "give the keys of your house" (as someone here commented) to reach your private machines. You can remotely open and close the tunnels through our web interface or our web API. Plus, we have web API-based automated deployment solution if you have many clients.
“Your server creates a forwarding ssh tunnel to one of our publicly visible forwarding servers” seems like a huge risk for somebody else to own these “forwarding servers”. Worse than giving keys to your house? I dunno.
It is _your_ computer that makes connection to our servers, so you are in control of everything and there is literally nothing on our forwarding servers that would allow anybody to enter your computer.

#128Personally I’m happier to use wireguard to access my network. I don’t know when I’d ever want a pure SSH tunnelling solution.
Cloudflare Tunnel uses Wireguard under the hood.

#129I'm under the impression that this is against CloudFlare's ToS, otherwise I'd probably be doing it myself. See section 2.8 "Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content." of their subscriber agreement: use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our S…
That's for Cloudflare's CDN/reverse-proxy service. This is the correct one for Cloudflare Tunnel: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections...
(I'm looking for a way to get around bad traffic shaping I get in the afternoon between two locations streaming live TV.)
