Off-topic: That web page looks exactly like my vibe-coded utilities.

json output is nice, my agents always had to parse the text output before

I like Cloudflare Tunnels a lot, but something that annoys me is that officially you're not allowed to use them for streaming video, meaning I can't put it in front of my Jellyfin without breaking TOS.

I think that rule is more of a "we reserve the right to..." rule, but it makes me sad because I'd rather not open up ports on my router to expose my Jellyfin to my parents.

The website looks broken in dark mode on Firefox.

This is not anything new they have been around since the tunnels project launched. What is more concerning is the AI slop webpage and just the "AI" centered relaunch of an existing product.

So it is ngrok 10 years later?

So this is basically ngrok?

So... Cloudflare built Ngrok?

I just spent a week writing a harness around the existing tunnels to make this by hand.

Seems like the quality of software engineering is now going to zero and just vibe coding unstable alternatives since 2023.

I'm sorry to be offtopic, but this website looks like an hallucination generated by chatgpt 4.

This type of quality downgrade is scary, and it's everywhere now.

Could we turn this into p2p cloud hosting for all?

Cool but the obvious flaw with this is that CF leaks DNS-records. So bots will find these urls instantly. Not sure why they have not fixed that or if it is even possible to fix.

cloudflare rocks

Cloudflare's only goal here is to put themselves between everyone and charge a toll. They are running a protection racket where they themselves are causing much of the damage they offer protection from. This is another example.

Now that is one vibe-coded website

No-ip gives out free dynamic DNS with a static URL. I use it for Sunshine desktop streaming when I travel.
