So I'm over here getting two domains setup w/ one public IP. I know I can use 
pfSense to route the traffic, and/or reverse proxies thru nginx or apache2 
[altho its not as easy when yer routing traffic to another VM/local ip], but 
for one of my domains I recently found that just setting up a Cloudflare tunnel 





































































was super easy and gets the job done w/o exposing any ports or IPs... 

Sure, I have to let Cloudflare into my trust circle - and know that they're 
just itching to sell me more 'features', especially if the website ever got any 





































































real traffic... but seeing how easy it worked got me thinking;

The BBS is just an IP/port, yea... wouldn't a Cloudflare tunnel to a domain be 
a good way for new sysops to not expose their own networks? I haven't done it, 
or even tried as of yet, but it seems that the CF tunnels have all the tools 
needed to open up the different ports, or any for that matter, that a BBS 
uses...
