You are probably better off using something like Tailscale. You don’t need to expose your system with a reverse proxy then.

Do you research of raspberry pis, they are really great. You do need to be careful though, sdcards die comparatively fast, and you don’t want anything important to be on it when it does. Or at least backed up (Borg is cool).

I built a new PC recently. All I needed to see were the benchmarks over the last 5 years. There’s currently no contest.

They are probably talking about the AusweisApp. Which I have used precisely once for the novelty of it. In fact, I forgot it existed until just now.

You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

Also Cloudflare adds a caching layer, often physically closer to users. Increasing speed of delivery and reducing server costs. It’s a no-brainer for server admins.

Also, I don’t work for Cloudflare either. The animosity is new to me, and certainly something I’ll look into.
