The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

Video streaming is against Cloudflare policies, aren't you worried that they'll may block your account?

    Hmm I thought if I set it up to not cache data it would be fine, but it turns out that was outdated data. I don't see an option for paying for it unless I host media specifically on their servers which I won't be doing.

    I doubt I'll be using a significant amount of data but if they give me a warning I'll have to turn off the tunnel I suppose. Thanks for the question!
