I would rather use ngrok for these things: https://ngrok.com/ The reason why is because Alan is awesome.
out of interest - why? They seem to be targeted at different use cases - ngrok for dev work (looking at pricing and the limits on the free tier), and argo tunnels for permanent services
It's not obvious to me from the blogpost where TLS termination happens in this scenario. I would want it to happen on my local machine, so that (a) Cloudflare can't read my plaintext traffic, and (b) I can manage subdomain certificates more easily via Caddy. Is that possible with the cheapo free tunnels or does Cloudflare want to handle the domain and TLS certificates, too?
There is no mention of prices on that page, does anyone know how much it costs? Is it included on their free tier, or it is a "free" added service for customers who already pay for other services? If so, I'm curious what would be the cost of the minimum package to get this working.

ngrok is easy to use. Is there any advantage of using Cloudflare Tunnel over ngrok?
If you have $3-5/month to spare on a VPS, a similar but self hosted solution can be achieved- Tunnel/VPN and reverse proxy- using Wireguard and Caddy. Caddy in particular is extremely easy to configure, with the bonus that HTTPS/Lets Encrypt has never been free'er. Wireguard configuration is also gloriously minimal but admittedly, potentially tricky to get right the first time. It's just good to consider alternatives…
