  • I’d say to start with CF tunnels unless you need non-web based applications. Cloudflare tunnels require you to have a domain, though.

    It has the added benefit that you have network monitoring, logging and some filtering for security that they do on top and you get to manage everything from their web interface.

    be warned that the first time can be a bit confusing, but since it’s done using their web interface it’s easier than if you have a problem making wireguard work.

    1. Create a tunnel with a public hostname that will be the url to access that service. During the creation of the hostname specify you want it protected by L7 application firewall.
    2. Create a new self-hosted application in cloudflare application section and for starters use the default login email and in rules specify the list of emails that are allowed to login

    you should now be able to access your application from anywhere.

    Alternatively, if you have a DNS server in your home network you can add a private IP range to your tunnel. Let’s say 192.168.0.0/24. Then when you connect with their pseudo-VPN (cloudflare warp or cloudflare ONE) you can directly use your home network’s ip address from that device. If you tell your device to use a local DNS server that resolves your internal services, you’ll be able to connect to them that way.




  • I recently build a PC and this is what I learned:

    1. Modern CPUs get crazy hot. AIO water cooling could make sense depending on what CPU you use
    2. GPUs are expensive but higher end GPUs will make the build last longer. Nvidia is a must for anything related to AI.
    3. NVME storage is a no brainer option for a new build
    4. Make sure the motherboard supports the RAM or doesn’t throttle it
    5. If you have the space a larger case will be better for cooling an upgrades. GPUs get crazy large.

    Overall go to pcpartpicker and look at what people have build with your choice of GPU / CPU.
