Can I pay Cloudlfare to access video via Tunnel? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- skirtikus · 2023-11-18 23:46 I really like Cloudlfare Tunnels. For all my Internet visible docker based services I just use the cloudflared container to expose it. I easily get SSL and authentication and don’t have to worry about things I know little about like latest zero day attacks etc. At the moment I’m trying to use Frigate over Tunnels. It works fine for live streams and snapshots. It breaks when I load a clip of an event. It gets truncated presumably due to Cloudlfare not wanting to serve video. Same happens for Plex streams — goes for a few seconds then hangs. Can I pay Cloudlfare for streaming videos? I looked at the paid tiers of zero trust but they have the same upload limits I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RedditSlayer2020 · 2023-11-18 23:53 r/cloudflare ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stringfellow-hawke · 2023-11-19 00:21 I think it's a pricey enterprise option. What about Twingate? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AnApexBread · 2023-11-19 02:37 Cloudflare will host videos at $5 per 1000 minutes and an extra $1 per 1000 minutes watched per month. https://www.cloudflare.com/products/cloudflare-stream/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phynness · 2023-11-19 02:45 That's surprisingly reasonably priced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AnApexBread · 2023-11-19 02:47 Yea. It's not bad compared to something like Vimeo which charges $12 for 60 videos (regardless of length) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zach78954 · 2023-11-19 07:58 Another option you might consider is a cheap VPS( I used racknerd) and frp/rathole. I run all my regular websites through cloudflare tunnels and anything that requires a custom port or video over rathole to my VPS. The VPS using last years Black Friday deal only cost me $30/yr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sarkyscouser · 2023-11-19 12:58 Twingate looks interesting, never heard of it before. Any user opinions experiences please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stringfellow-hawke · 2023-11-19 15:41 I think it's a preferred method for known users. Twingate uses zero trust principles to grant access to specific devices where a VPN or tunnel just drops people into your network. Sort of moot if you're the only user, but it's a nifty alternative and super easy to set up. Plus free, at least for now. An alternative is to do reverse proxy and just open ports for what you need to do. You can reduce risks with port/firewall rules. I run plex through a CF proxy on https (see spaceinvader) and apply rules on that end to limit exposure (geo block, threat score, and whatever else CF brings to the table. I'm considering limiting IP networks too). And I have rules on my end for CF servers. You can also lock things down within your network with MFA and IDS/IPS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sarkyscouser · 2023-11-19 16:01 Great, many thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PhilipLGriffiths88 · 2023-11-19 16:43 Another alternative is OpenZiti - https://github.com/openziti. It's a zero trust overlay but free and open source (with self-hosting if you want... if you don't want you can use CloudZiti with the free tier). There are some architectural differences, including supporting use cases other than 'north-south' connectivity across the WAN, such as 'east-west' in the LAN. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- adamshand · 2023-11-19 19:31 Boring proxy is another option.
