how safe i am? (alien.top)

I’ve migrated from cloudflare pages to cloudflare tunnels as I wanted to do a little bit more.

I can’t segregate my network as my ISPs router is rather limited, which means no vLANs. Connecting another router would introduce a double nat as they don't allow bridging. So I'm running my website basically "raw" in a hyperV virtual machine. the website is semi-static and made out of flatfiles, therefore it's is quite impossible to login into it. as stated before i’m using cloudflare tunnels to expose a nginx server to the interner. what are the chances someone or something (bot) inflataring my network? 100% safety is not possible but how safe am i?

The only thing a CF tunnel does is protect your home IP. Doesn’t protect the app or server you’re exposing.

Well it does slightly more than just obfuscating your home IP, in that it will also do automatic bot, DDOS prevention, etc...

Nothing will stop a general scan from happening. Especially if it’s a slow scan.

Scans won’t trigger dos/ddos alerts.

tunnels are reverse-portforwarding. ports aren't open on my network but on theirs.

anyways i moved back on VPS because im not 100% sure what is my ISPs stance lmao. and since i cant have much control with my internal network for now, id rather stay away but i def wanna host at home eventually
