Reverse proxing my nextcloud and others using tunnels
I started by trying to use Cloudflare tunnels to just route my localhost port running Jellyfin (just to test it) to my domain. It worked, but my goal was to set up a cloud file system locally with the ability to access it anywhere. I would put all my pictures and all my documents on it. But then I found Cloudflare section 2.8 pretty much saying doing this is against the rules. But then I found out they removed it. So I have no clue if I'm supposed to do it this way or if there is a simple, easier way that doesn't violate cloudflares rules. Thanks!

If they removed it ig it should be okay then
(I do the same what you do)
@feugnis We aren't going to discipline you for running Nextcloud for yourself and maybe a few friends. But if you try to create the next Imgur or YouTube using a Free plan, then we might start sending you emails.
Regardless of the scenario, we'll tell you ahead of time if you're causing issues.
I've been using Nextcloud on Cloudflare both on and off my tunnel for years now. Never had an issue.
Do you have the talk feature working and can you share the detials of how you configures your TURN server? I have been trying to crack this nut with COTURN for 2 days. On the same VM on a different VM all kinds of different combinations of settings.
Yeah, ok, that makes it a little more clear. I was just worried because the ToS isn't really clear on this in a very hard-line way. I did create a page rule to block all caching on the Jellyfin server (for a couple friends). I'm not sure if that's necessary(?), but I'm doing it to be safe.
If it isn't though, will I have advance notice to fix the issue?
Nextcloud is one thing, because it's maily file storage, so the files may be cached for a short time. However, the ToS is meant to be vague so that people don't try to abuse it and come back to us with "but we didn't stream more than x GB on this day!"
we won't cache streaming video anyway, but if you are streaming through the CDN, tunnel or not, it's a toss-up. If you're streaming to just yourself, you might not see any issues. but if your server is open to your family and friends and you have people sucking many gigs a minute over the CDN, expect to get an email.
long story short, yes, you will be informed.
