I seriously don’t understand why would people choose this over not exposing anything at all, except for Wireguard port. I have my client to automatically connect my home LAN when I’m not on WiFi and get access to all my self-hosted services without risking anything. You rely on third party solution which may or may not be made to government agencies. You also need to trust they Cloudflare doesn’t make mistakes, either.

Also, how do you configure Cloudflare for a road warrior setup? How do you track ever changing dynamic IPs? As mentioned, all I need is a Wireguard client and I’m golden.

That's a fair point, but for my use case, I feel comfortable enough with CloudFlare given the trade-offs.

I think the chances of CloudFlare making a mistake are much lower than me or any other individual Developer.

> Cloudflare for a road warrior setup? How do you track ever changing dynamic IPs?

I think you need to read the docs. All of that works without any extra config when using tunnels.
