cloudflared VS https_dns_proxy

I run a RaspberryPi 3 with FreeBSD 13 booting off an SD card and a USB SSD for storage [1]. Coincidentally today (1/7/2024) is its one year anniversary.

It runs a jail with my single user GotoSocial ActivityPub server [2] reasonably well with cloudflared [3] handling incoming traffic and acting as CDN to take some of the load. Originally it was only using an SD card, but there was too much IO contention so a USB-SSD adapter is used to offload the IO.

I choose FreeBSD over Linux since I have other Rpis with Linux already and wanted more experience with *BSD, jails, and ZFS. Unfortunately ZFS wasn't the best choice on an Rpi since it's more cpu intensive and switched back to UFS.

Overall it's been solid, multiple GTS updates and have it on my list to update to FreedBSD 14 but not really in a rush.

Something like cloudflared would be awesome. https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

if you're on windows, you can install it with the exe: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe (or https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-386.exe if your using 32bit windows.)

So, the "more than one" issue is kind of discussed HERE and HERE but for sure, for whatever reason, this caused me sleepless nights.

Anyway, here is the Github link for Cloudflared (aka Cloudflare Tunnel client) which should allow you to remotely tunnel into your Synology server instead of using the HTTP-based reverse proxying method: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

As an alternative to traditional ingress, you can use cloudflared to expose web apps on Cloudflare via encrypted tunnels: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

You could use cloudflared

unbound also supports DoH ( DNS over https ) and DoT ( DNS over TLS ). Even if your preferred resolver isn't on the list you can just run a proxy to make it work and point at that ( still requires a caching resolver since this only does the tunnel and no caching.
