Yeah the point of CloudFlare tunel is absolutely not what is shown in this article. It's to privately expose services on the web without opening ports.

You can out auth, georestrictions, etc. so that people are authorized before they ever reach your computer.

I expose a lot of services on my NAS via CloudFlare tunels, but every single one of them is behind an authentication screen managed by CloudFlare and running on their servers.
