Self-Host Your Homelab Tunnels on Bunny.net

As a long-time Cloudflare user and advocate, it hurts me to admit that I’ve been pretty unsatisfied with them lately. For three reasons:

1. Their unwillingness to increase transparencyFor years, Cloudflare has notably lacked both billing forecasting and prepayment options. As a customer, you’re essentially forced to accept whatever charges appear on your statement after the fact. in their pricing model.
2. Their chaotic product directionThe user experience within the Cloudflare dashboard is, frankly, a mess. The platform suffers from inconsistent naming conventions that make it difficult to distinguish between services, and many products are fragmented across multiple dashboards with overlapping or conflicting settings. and roadmap.
3. Their toxic cultureCloudflare’s reputation for toxic culture is well-known. How they treat internal employees, loyal customers, and the open source community speaks for itself..

So this month, I’ve been migrating a bunch of my projects over to bunny.net—one of Cloudflare’s strongest competitors—and for the most part, it’s been a breeze. It’s like rewriting Cloudflare from the ground up. bunny.net is what you’d get.
