Netbird is king. (lemmy.fedioasis.cc)

Figured I'd give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.

You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.

I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.

Edit: Note that I choose to self host NetBird, and haven't really used the service they provide all that much.

Not routing all your unencrypted traffic through a company located in an dictatorship

So? It's just a reverse proxy?

Then it doesnt solve the purpose of Cloudflare which also has WAF.
And that can (for example) be done with CrowdSec.
Crowdsec is OSS, but probably not fully autonomous because it needs the hivemind to really work it's intended purpose.
Other than that it's a fancy fail2ban.

Thus I need to ask: What does Netbird better?
