Cloudflare Tunnels vs Standard Proxied DNS
Hey Everyone!
I was hoping someone at Cloudflare can shine some light on any potential drawbacks to migrating from using Cloudflare as a regular (Orange Cloud) proxy service, to using Tunnels in a production environment.
I suspect most people use Tunnels as they can allow NAT'd servers to expose services publicly which is not important to us, but it would be awesome to use Tunnels in production as it allows us to achieve High Availability and become truly cloud agnostic.
The problem is, I'm curious as to whether or not there will be latency and/or a bottleneck that may cause the Cloudflared daemon to crash or perform poorly compared to Cloudflare making public outbound requests to our origin.
Assuming I'm hosting a web server on a dedicated server, could Cloudflare Tunnels handle/process the same traffic as regular proxied DNS?
Thanksssss
