It lives on a <strong>Mac mini sitting at home</strong>, under my desk, serving with Apache not just <code>sergiocomeron.com</code>, but also the Moodle site, Jitsi, and a couple of other projects.</p> <p>Self-hosting has something addictive about it: total control, no monthly hosting bills, and the joy of tinkering with your own infrastructure. But it has an Achilles&rsquo; heel that traditional hosting doesn&rsquo;t: <strong>if the power goes out at home, or the internet drops, the website goes down with me</strong>.

For a long time I assumed that exposing anything to the internet meant opening ports on the router, dealing with dynamic IPs and hoping the ISP wouldn&rsquo;t block incoming traffic. Cloudflare Tunnel solved all of that at once.</p> <h2 id="what-is-cloudflare-tunnel">What is Cloudflare Tunnel</h2> <p>Cloudflare Tunnel is a free service that creates an outbound encrypted connection between your server and the Cloudflare network. Instead of the internet reaching your server, it&rsquo;s your server that reaches out to Cloudflare. Result: no open ports, no exposed IP, no router headaches.</p>
