Thx for explaining. I think I halfway know what this is about now. I don’t think I’m their target group. But I learned something about web application firewalls in the process and that is a good thing. I think I’m going to activate that for some of my private services since it’s so easy and look up if there are good ip ban lists. It’s a bummer that I don’t get to see proper documentation on this, since security is all about exact facts and scenarios. But I guess no answer is also an answer. If they just feed buzzwords to me, either my initial skepticism was warranted, or I’m just not their target audience and they only target enterprise users. Either way I’m better off with my current approach. I appreciate I got to learn something :-)
Cloudflare, Pagekite, a cheap VPS with a reverse proxy. Maybe IPv6-only access if your CGNat does that, ngrok, serveo, rathole, sish, a VPN… I also found portmap-io, webhook relay, packetriot and countless other smaller companies. There are quite some tools and services available. And which one is right for you might depend on the exact situation and what you’re hosting. I’m not an expert on this. I have an internet connection without a NAT, and additionally a really tiny VPS with a mailserver, a small website and wireguard. I just use that to tunnel through NAT if i need to. But that means I haven’t compared all the other services since I don’t need them (yet.) I’ve learned a bit about Cloudflare from this discussion.
