Hello everyone. Since Cloudflare made [new ToS](https://www.reddit.com
/r/selfhosted/comments/13j4pft/goodbye_section_28_and_hello_to_cloudfl
ares_new/) a while ago are we all safe using services like Jellyfin
through their tunnels as long as we are not using their CDN and
disable cache for such services? I tried to find absolutely clear
answer on the Internet, I asked many friends and nobody knows for
sure. Can you guys help me understand this? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure either. I wouldn't risk it though.

If you are willing to put in some more effort, something like a
Wireguard tunnel going to a VPS (Oracle has free ones) would be safer.
You'd then only use Cloudflare for DNS and nothing else.

You might be just fine using the CF tunnel, but it'd be pretty shitty
if they ended up banning you in the future. With a VPS you got nothing
to lose.

You are absolutely, categorically not allowed to use Plex or jellyfin
or any other media streaming app on cloudflare tunnels unless you are
a paid customer hosting your media in cloudflare R2.


Technically I don’t think you’re even allowed to host something like
Immich u less your images are stored on R2.

That being said, I haven’t yet heard of anyone having their account
banned for doing so.
