tailscale + cloudflare for lets encrypt support. can then give family tailscale access

Has cloudfare become any more strict with passing large amounts of video data through them? I heard they were kind of against it, but haven't enforced anything.

  • If you don't proxy or tunnel the connection, it isn't an issue. I assume they are using Tailscale for the actual connection.

One does not need cloudflare for letsencrypt. The tooling has become really simple to use.

  • You do need a DNS service with API access for automatically creating/renewing the certificates for things that are only served over tailscale though, since they aren't publicly accessible for the letsencrypt servers to talk to.

    • I've got a Caddy instance setup which proxies my traffic and has dead easy integration for domain DNS registration. Super handy
