Cloudflare Warp lets you serve websites from behind a NAT'd server
Cloudflare Warp is in Beta. It allows you to run a system service that basically opens up a VPN tunnel, through a NAT firewall, to the inside of Cloudflare.
This means that your cheap NAT VPS is now much more useful. You can actually serve websites from it!
Here is a Cloudflare blog post that explains a bit more.

If that stays free that could be useful!
man if they can learn how to port forward eventually they'll learn how to handle memory management!
With or without lava lamps?
LAMP stacks are for wussies and communists.
I was using Warp Beta with one of my domains with a NAT VPS. It works well, but I'm afraid once it exits Beta, you will be forced to enter Argo, which I'm not a huge fan of just due to the cost. If they could integrated it with the free platform, it'd be a huuge hit and make Cloudflare even better.
I saw a comment on their blog that suggests it will be free for subdomains of your domain after beta.
I thought there was already a way to cloudflare NAT servers. Look at Lowendspirit forums for more info. I never tried it myself and an more likely to use BunnyCDN than Cloudflare if I need a CDN for some reason.
You just use the IPv6 address and it'll do 4-to-6 proxy, but that's still on port 80
I don't know what Argo is, but I believe a VPS with dedicated ipv4 is cheaper?
Oh good! I'll need to read that new blog post since the one I had read was when the originally made the announcement. In the docs, it seemed like they had originally intended it to be used with Argo. I'm glad they'd making the decision not to be completely on Argo.
Free with sub-domains is completely OK for me and honestly I'd only be using it for sub-service and not for www records so thumbs up by me! I'll have to start getting this integrated into some Docker containers to see how that and the access platform is.
IPv4 costs providers. You can escape that cost by sharing IP!
How about; login to the client area and set your domain forwarding on both http and https???
No need for a vpn tunnel kinda thingy-wingy.
How would you do that on a NAT VPS where there is only a shared IPv4 but available IPv6 that can be used. Cloudflare will translate IPv6 to IPv4 for you. Some visitors do not have IPv6 capabilities and have to use IPv4, so this bridges the gap between them. Specially with the Warp beta, there is no longer a need to run additional services for reverse proxy when you can do it via Warp.
The host node reads the URL and forwards it to your internal IP.
We (lowendspirit) use a proxy on the host your on which forward the traffic to your vps.
Think of it like shared hosting but your are using your own container which you can do almost anything with.
Want to change the iptables rules? No worries, log in to your vps and update it.
I must say that not all lowendspirit providers offers https forwarding (no need to send your cert or anything).
If you were a customer of mine you would:
Done!
Fair point. I suppose it was reliance on the provider to manage/direct traffic which was the deterrent for me. I admit that I had not delved into the specifics with LES in regards to the proxy that was provided with it, so that is my error in execution.
