people who host publicly-facing servers at home (not on a VPS), do you just directly use your home IP address w/ port forwarding or use a tunnel to a VPS (or a service like CF tunnels) with a reverse proxy?

@ezio the caveat to using cloudflare's reverse proxy is that it only proxies inbound connections, so if the server you are running makes outbound connections, those will use your regular internet access

using a VPN tunnel means both inbound and outbound connections go through a different IP

just something to be aware of
