Recently, I was tasked at work with implementing an isolated service on AWS. Since I’m a cheap guy, I didn’t want to use Elastic IPs just to ensure I can be lazy with DNS <-> EC2 whenever I reboot it during workhours. Also, it’s a hassle to apply for approval on firewall configuration changes so I opted to use CloudFlare’s Zero Trust Tunnel thing. And it’s painless as long as you understand your networking fundamentals! Now I’m thinking of using it on my own servers to upgrade security even more since I reeeeaaaally don’t like opening ports on my machines. Try it as well! 😁
