I want to expose my services publicly on my own domain name, how would you guys do that?

I have seen people using Cloudflare, but I don’t want to use Cloudflare out of principle. I have also seen stuff on caddy and frp that I’ve done some rough researching.

What do you guys do?

    You are welcome to expose it at your own risk. Assess you own tolerance for compromise (personal data compromise, becoming part of a botnet, becoming a host for spam or CSAM) and proceed accordingly.

      Yes, that’s exactly what I’ve done. You still haven’t shown me why it’s unsafe. If you can’t, that’s fine. At some threshold or another, nothing is secure. The one thing I know for sure is that that first page, that says it doesn’t recommend exposing a port, does not say what you said it does.

        It sounds to me like you just have a higher risk tolerance, and if you accept that, that’s okay.
