EXPOSE your home network to the INTERNET!! (it's safe)
EXPOSE your home network to the INTERNET!! (it's safe)
Run your home lab like an enterprise company!! Use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for FREE: https://ntck.co/redhat
In this video, NetworkChuck will show you how to install and use Cloudflare Tunnel, the best way to expose and access your home lab resources from the internet. Traditionally, you would use a reverse proxy like Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik to expose your home lab resources, but this involved forwarding ports 80 and 443 through your firewall. (not safe). With Cloudflare Tunnel, you don’t need to forward anything!! Cloudflare will create a secure tunnel to your home network and allow you to create a subdomain that securely points to a resource in your home network. This includes an SSL certificate for EVERY subdomain automatically!!

Chuck i need help i need to fix my horrible hit reg in call of duty i dont expect u to reply to this but heeelp 😂
I’m very new to this and I’m trying to create a rtmp server for OBS. My router is CG-NAT.
Can you provide some guidance on where I would need to go and/or what I would need to do put for the public hostname?
I love the explanation despite of being 2 years in. Thanks Chuck!
Does anyone have a know how of using UDP connections? I want to host some game servers on my network
This site can’t provide a secure connection? anyone?
Is it possible for us to use this for FTP purpose ? I don’t see that under the application. How do we go about that ?
2min ad in a 9min video………
Great Video, your channel guided me through most of my first homelab steps and will continue to do so (quick coffee break)
But I got a question, maybe it is a bit stupid, but do I need to have the SSL Certificates before creating the Tunnel? Or will it create the Certificates when I am creating the Tunnel?
And if I need to create them beforehand, how would I do this/ would I also do it in cloudflare?
Thank you already for your help 🙂
not a big deal but Privoxity residential proxies stayed connected
@networkchuck. I’m trying to setup public facing ip or ddns through starlink cgnat for my home server hosting nextcloud and Minecraft bedrock on truenas. I have spent 20+ hours of failure. Please help.
RIP Google Domains
Dude, I’m a software engineer and I can see the insane amount of effort you put in here. This is awesome! Thank you
6:43 Ctrl-A to get to the beginning of the command line. I learned something today and now use it… a lot.
Wow you are a genius, I have been struggling with this for awhile since my internet provider blocks access to the router from, the internet, and this solution worked right away. Thank you so much
I use ubuntu, will the debian environment work for that?
I mean it´s useless if you need UDP
One thing I dont get: You installed Cloudflare on your RHEL server and so it connected the tunnel. so far, so clear. But: How where you able to reach your home-NAS with a different local IP over the same tunnel. The tunnel terminates kn your RHEL server. How does the access to the NAS works then?
i was finnaly able to do it.. thank you NetworkChuck.. the tutorial is flawless
hacking yt
cool !
Found this again, just got my proxmox setup with nextcloud so far. Going to follow this for access.
Thanks my man! This is still working and made it so much easier to what I wanted to do.
Rather complex things explained simply, still works, consider me taught
nice beard :3
This is the most valuable 9 minutes I have spent in years in learning different things. Extremely useful. However, this so cool, I am almost thinking back in my head what’s the catch ? I don’t get it, such a service exists in free tier!! By the way, while most of my services are running fine, few are throwing error though, is there any limitation which can’t be run ?
So, for sensitive stuff I still use twingate, but for media like plex, this is a great great way
Sweeeeet, I’ve been struggling for weeks with this and am hoping it’s gonna be a breakthrough for my pi server! Awesome clear instructions. Do you have to use a subdomain or can you just use your main domain? Thanks soooooooooo much Chuck 🤩
I used this for a project I’m working on. Works good but my configuration is not the greatest so it’s kinda slow.
Chuck please give us one that works with AT&T 🙁 Seems they are blocking the UDP/QUIC 7844 😩
Ty, sir!
the cloudflare dashboard changes a lot ask gemini for guidance
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! EXACTLY WHAT I WA LOOKING FOR! (yes, the all caps was necessary to express how happy I am with this video hahaha!)
I’ve been messing with so many silly ways trying to make it work without buying a domain for the 10.41$ that it costed and ultimately this was the simplest way to achieve what I wanted. I do wish you had gone into more about the NoTLSVerify part, but it seems to work when it’s turned off, like you said. Many thanks sir!
this is amazing. but if my server goes down or I have to reboot the tunnel does not auto start? is there a flag or quick cron I can have it start the tunnel on reboot?
would this make it safe to host a public gameserver? I realize ddos can still be done. but it should not be able to reach anything else than the server as long a i use the correct ip and port? No access to my home network except my gameserver?
*-d / –detach
I’m trying to expose my vite app running on localhost:3000 to the internet using this cloudflare tunnel but getting 502 Bad Gateway.
I fuckin love you man
Holy god the UI has changed and now nothing makes sense
Make an update things have changed
How would one set it up that the root domain points to a service and not the sub domain of the root. I use docker and portainer on a vps with tailscale. Cloudfair tunnels is one of the containers in portainer.
Ugg Ugg Ugg …. .why won’t Jellyfin work with this … for the ability to casually watch a movie or show while I am away it seems like I need years of IT training. Best I can get is Bad Gateway response from Cloudflare … tested with other internal hosts and they work fine but watching movies has me beat ….
TeamViewer Remote Desktop Access Software, mstsc.
Some have mentioned that the cloudflare tunnel might not be as secure as chuck makes it seem to be. Anyone recently implement this? My main concern is cloudflare seeing my traffic unencrypted.
god, thanks man for straightforward video. wasted a day trying to get nginx to work. this saved the day
Fantastic video
It seems I’m crazier than you as I’ve been trying the same thing from my phone just a few minutes ago with Termux. And that’s how I got to know cloudflare by the way and that led me here somehow. 😅 What a great day !
The best tutorial i come across today, and yesterday it was your video about "Building our own cloud" 😂
doesnt your ip get exposed tho?
👍👍
Is it safe? What if someone finds youre url, what can they do with it?
