Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am running Tailscale as a temporary solution to access some services, but I dislike that you have to set firewall rules basically twice (once in your local network and once in Tailscale). I suppose it would be similar for CF?
Yeah, any solution is going to require at least egress rules for its traffic. Tailscale is a bit different since part of what it's able to do is provide access to your LAN, if desired. Cloudflare just needs two ports, but it's only providing a tunnel from the host.
