Using Cloudflare tunnels for exposing services (alien.top)

Has anyone done it? Cloudflare says it's for "testing purposes" but I'm sure that self hosted services with a couple of users wouldn't raise any flags?

I've been running a HTTP server for a month with no problems.

DAE have any experience.

Practically it's like reverse proxying but without having to pay for a VPS - perfect for selfhosting.

Yes but WATCH OUT I did this to expose my Seafile server and if you use Cloudflare tunnel you won't be able to upload files >100mb with the free plan. First I thought it was a configuration issue on my side but after some research I just find out that there's a size limit for requests to Cloudflare.
