THIS could be a good alternative if you don't want to use Cloudflare tunnel, and it does not get talked about a lot here. in c/main@selfhosted.forum

With Cloudflare Tunnels, if you disable TLS decryption, use Full or Full (strict), and verify that the certificate in your browser is yours and not Cloudflare's certificate, wouldn't that mean that the SSL is unbroken from your server to the browser? Or can these options not be used with Cloudflare Tunnels?

This type of tool is interesting, and provides some of the functionality that Cloudflare Tunnel does, but with frp, a vulnerability in your app (or its login screen) could be more easily exploited since you don't have the traffic protection features that Cloudflare provides, right? Maybe combining this with fail2ban (or is there another similar self-hosted tool) would not only act as a proxy but also help protect your app to a degree like Cloudflare does?

Right, so I'm trying to determine if that is worse or if exposing a service without Cloudflare (and being more at risk from someone trying to break into my service because of not having the monitoring/protection Cloudflare provides) is worse.

For most things I agree but I this case I'm thinking of a service where you want to have a group of people access and they all aren't willing or tech-saavy enough to install a VPN

Benefits of Cloudflare Access (alien.top)
 

For a self-hosted application with a valid SSL certificate and support for OAuth, what are the benefits that Cloudflare Access provides? From what I can tell, it also filters traffic to possibly block attacks? Can it even be used with a self-hosted app if you aren't also running Cloudflare Tunnel? Is there a better alternative (that also integrates with major OAuth providers like Google, Github, etc) for self-hosters? Thanks for the help in understanding how this works.
