I use cloud flare tunnel for my home server too. Are there any viable and somewhat easy alternatives?
Tailscale funnels
As soon as I can use my personal domains with tailscale funnel I'll be switching, I like tail scale a lot
I guess that's fine for some. Not a compromise I'm willing to make though.
Get a cheap VPS and set up a VPN of your choice.
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
Once configured, Tor Hidden Services also just work (you may need to use some fresh bridges in certain countries if ISPs block Tor there though). You don't have to trust any specific third party in this case.
Wouldn't that be slow?
Yes. Very slow. And only accessible from tor clients or tor2web/onion.to-like constructions. Which adds additional delay and errors.
There are things for which onion addresses are the right solution. This is not one of them.
It would. But it's a good option when you have computationally heavy tasks and communication is relatively light.
DynDNS? I'm not 100% sure what CF Tunnel does, but from my 2 min reading it seems that DynDNS would accomplish what OP described just as well.
It might help to read it once more then 🙂
Oh, it's way more than what any dyndns can do.
Port forwards in the router + DynDns.
