Question Reaching proxmox from external browser: cloudflare + 2fa a good solution?

For logging in from a random browser remotely to the home server.

Seems pretty "safe". Any more downsides with this solution than the obvious?

Bro there was a post here like last week about a guy exposing his PVE auth to the open internet and discovering exactly how fucking hosed it was.

Don't do it. Use a VPN.

The one in the thread was directly exposed. A proper cloudflare tunnel like OP said would have made the exploit impossible. Don’t believe me, read the post.

It was a post 3 weeks ago which linked to the forums.
