 Listener Paul had he blew my mind this week and and maybe just maybe he'll blow yours too. So Paul writes, you guys need cloud flare tunnels. He says a while back I was fighting, uh, how to do backups between Synology with hyper backup and across different networks and all of that. And he says, I ended up using zero tier, but now I know many folks use wire guard or simply tail scale to accomplish that. And that is the right way to do that. If you know, creating your own private land that knows no boundaries is, is what tail scale does, right? It's magic. Well, now Paul has the magic for us for the public. He says cloud flare tunnels allows me to do similar things without opening up firewall parts for specific tasks or having to rely on the speed hits of other companies, servers. And he sent us a YouTube video that I've linked in the show notes for us all here. What cloud flare tunnels does is you, uh, you install a, uh, like a little app on one device on your network. So if you have an always on server, like a Mac or a distation or a Linux box or whatever, you install their little thing and that deals with, you know, connecting you to the outside world. Then you go and set up your tunnels. And this is all free on cloud flare. I mean, you can pay for, for more, but I think you get like 50 tunnels for free or something, which for, if you're doing this for your home network. And then you go to cloud flare and you attach, you have to have a domain because it's how this works. But then you can do like, you know, I, I haven't done this, but I could do, you know, Synology drive dot Mac geek up.com. No ports need to be added or anything. And I go put that in cloud flare tunnels as the public address. And then I tell it, okay, point this to, you know, 192.168.1.5 on port 5001 on my local network. And when you guys or anybody visits that URL, which doesn't exist. So it's, I mean, you can try it. It's going to fail. But once you, when you visit Synology drive dot Mac geek up.com, if I had set up that tunnel, it would put you directly in touch with only that port on that device on my local network. So it's not like I'm exposing the device to the world, right? I don't have to do port forwarding. I don't even, it can all be on, it could be port 443 for all I care. You know, it can do HTTPS cloud flare handles the HTTPS for you. So it's basically being a reverse proxy, but you don't even have to know what a reverse proxy is. And it just, it does it on the, and it's cloud flare. So, you know, they run half the internet nowadays. And so, yeah, this blew me away. It's worth watching the little video to, to see how it works. It's like a nine minute video or whatever. And you can on YouTube, you know, you can just like the podcast. You can watch it like one and a half speed. Highly recommended. So there's another quick tip for you.
