So you don't know my IP (DDoS target), and because of NAT.

I think tonymet meant he didn't understand why cloudflare didn't allow using ssh -R instead of cloudflared to create the tunnel, not not using a tunnel at all.

any app will connect with an IP am I missing something . a socket is exactly (IP, port) (src, target) tuple

For me, it’s as much about ease of use as much as it is about minimizing attack surface area.

Also the lifetime I need the connection open. For something quick, ssh tunnel. For something normies use, reverse proxy. Ain’t trying to teach my parents about IP addresses and port numbers.
