Hey all! For the longest time I’ve had a server that hosts some things (eg Syncthing), but is only available via SSH tunneling.

I’ve been thinking of self-hosting more things like Nextcloud and Vaultwarden. I can keep my SSH tunneling setup but it might make it difficult to do SSL.

How do you manage the security of having public-facing servers?

    I was looking into this for Plex the other day. There’s some conflicting information on the internet right now. From what I can tell, large non-HTML content still seems to be against their ToS, unless you’re an Enterprise customer or serving the files/media with CloudFlare’s R2 or Stream services. I hope I’m wrong though, if someone can confirm.

    This post from CloudFlare explains the recent changes to their ToS, and the CDN ToS appears to disallow media or large file content.
