Nice stack! What’s the crab logo? I don’t recognize it.
Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel vs connecting directly to your IP? I’ve experimented with it a few times, but it really negatively impacts QoS for me, especially with federated services (like Matrix) where there are lots of small requests.
For me, it becomes very useful when you manage local and public services and the same time. I’m actually planning to return to use a dashboard because I added new services and devices to my stack, so now there are more IPs and domains I use for different tasks and I’m too lazy to remember/write all of them :)
That seems unlikely; trust me, there are services running behind Cloudflare tunnels that are doing more requests per second than whatever you’re hosting does in a year.
The only times I’ve had performance problems with Cloudflare tunnels it’s been intermediate network kit that didn’t like IPv6 or didn’t like QUIC (or both). You can try disabling both in cloudflared to diagnose (at least, you used to be able to disable them/switch to HTTP/2+IPv4, it’s been a very long time since I’ve needed to so I’m just assuming it’s still an option.)

the crab is Homarr and no, i haven’t had any issues with cloudflare
What do you use it for?
its a dashboard application, i just have my hosted apps there
But like, does it help you with anything specific. Or is it just nice to look at

Have not noticed that at all. I don’t run any federated services tho. Might be the difference, I don’t know.
Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.
