This is very cool, but you should not use Cloudflare Tunnels to stream media. This is forbidden by their terms of service (or at the very least not the intended use of Tunnels and they may disable your service). Use Wireguard or Tailscale instead.

Can tailscale funnel do custom domains yet?

Personally I'm switching to rathole+traefik, weirdly something I was researching and experimenting with in the early hours of this morning (I have now not slept and have to go to work).

Yep, I rent a $5 VPS in my region that I tailscale to for exactly that reason, as well as to un-CGNAT myself.

For an easy GUI solution for the latter, highly recommend Nginx Proxy Manager.

Cloudflare Tunnel publicly exposes your services, whereas Wireguard/Tailscale are VPNs.

Tailscale (but not Headscale) offers Funnel, which is a reverse proxy, but you cannot use it with your own domain.

Pangolin is the closest alternative to CF Tunnel, but self-hosted NetBird with reverse proxy functionality can also be used.
