Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 year ago by westingham@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Let's say I setup some subdomains and then point them to my home server via Cloudflare tunnel.

If I use one of those subdomains from my personal PC on the same network as my home server, to watch a movie for example, is all of that traffic going out to the internet and then back? Or does all the traffic stay internal once the connection has been made?

As you've described it, and from what I have read, its very similar to how tailscale negotiates its connections.

Does seem to be unique to Plex though.

Yup, there are few efficient ways to handle that, so anything that does it looks something like everything else that handles it.

Sadly, not many things handle it :)
