Hi, because of my double cgnat I use cloudflare tunnel, but for
privacy reasons and don’t be dependent of some internet services
company, what are my options on selfhosted a service similar to
Cloudflare tunnel?

I think I need a VPS for that, but I’m no sure anyway.

Thank you

TailScale has an open source headend alternative (I don’t recall the
name offhand but I’m sure it won’t be hard to dig up) and you can get
a free VM on the Oracle always-free that you can run it from. Or pay
for a lil VPS somewhere to run it from.

Tailscale, or the open source fork headscale can achieve this (have a
video on my YouTube). There's also zerotier as well.

You basically create a mesh network and specify exit nodes. This is
great for cgnat and solves the Cloudflare Tunnels issue.

I’m sure I’ll look into it. I already have a arm VM on oracle.

And what I can use like dashboard for country map and for domain I can
use Nginx Proxy Mannager?

Don't suppose you know of a tutorial to do this?

Are you looking for public sharing, i.e. outbound connection to
circumvent nat and access via public IP/DNS or private sharing, e.g.
VPN type solution. I work on a free and open source project which can
do both, [zrok.io](https://zrok.io) (FOSS or free SaaS) for public
shares or OpenZiti for private (we have a free SaaS called CloudZiti
too).

I would be weary using Oracle Free Tier. My VM got hit with "will
terminate due to inactivity" even though I was using it. They require
you to utilize their console to remain active.

As long as you can be aware of that, it's a great service.
