Does cloudflare tunneling work as kind of a VPN?
I'm thinking of hosting my website on my raspberry pi and use cloudflare tunnel. Does it hide my network information such as public ip and potential scans for things like open ports, etc. ?

Yes. Cloudflared will open a connection from your origin to Cloudflare so the ip address will be hidden and no ports will be open
Thanks, just to make sure. i didn't experiment with it yet. I would only need a server (my raspberry pi), the tunnel service, and a domain, right? There is no need to configure a dynamic dns and stuff like that right? the "cloudflared" package would do the trick? Sorry, I'm new.
Correct. The changing of IP is handed by the cloudflared package.
Thank you!
