For restricted access, I add a Cloudflare Application in front of the Tunnel to provide authentication. Work's like a charm, and the user never hits my services unless they successfully authenticate.
Yes I do that too with email authentication. But if he is using a personal server with no users then there is no need for that.
True, but then Tailscale needs to be installed on the remote device to connect. A Cloudflare Tunnel and Application can be accessed by pretty much any device. This was more appropriate for my use case. YMMV, of course.
For me it's all about use case.
I use cloudflare tunnels for programs exposed to the open web (Nextcloud, Radicale, etc).
But I use tailscale for anything not, then I use tailscale (RD client, KDE Connect, Sonarr, etc) because it's way too simple.
