I have a bunch of services on a home machine and I use cloudflare tunnels to access them on the WAN. My ISP locks down ports 80 and 443, and so tunnels were the most viable way for me to get various pages online easy; especially helped since it’s easy to configure and free to boot.

But I’ve been seeing more people talk about it being privacy invasive, and while I’m probably gonna remain largely ignorant on why, I was wanting to know if there was an alternative to this that I can use?

I use rathole tunnel (similar to frp) on VPS and Caddy locally. VPS and my local machine are connected with wireguard VPN. DNS points to VPS, TLS certificates are managed locally by Caddy.
