Hey there, recently I came across some videos of a kinda new utility from cloudflare used to host services from your local network despite isp restrictions/cgnat, kinda like playit but cooler, I've tried hosting with playit before but could never manage to have my server show on the server browser, after talking with the people at playit they told me its just not intended to work that way (as far as I remember it was something about playit tunnelling is more of like a passive tunnel so it's not sending "pings" to the steam server browser saying there's a server here) so my question is, does this also happen with cloudflare tunnelling? if so, is there a workaround?

I would expect it to be the case and there not being a workaround, though for an actual answer you'd have to test it yourself
there are ways to network tunnel without any such limits but, well, you'd need to rent a server as well as a decent bit of technical knowledge

Yeah, I was looking for a way to host it for free or as cheaply as possible since in my region hosting gets pretty expensive and kinda unreliable, and was intending to use a single computer to host multiple games servers using docker containera

that is the standard way to host servers, network tunnelling properly without actually having a dedicated server or paying for the link probably not so much
solemn island
Yeah but it doesn't show in the browser tho
Or at least not in the tunnels I tried

it might be possible to just rent a cheap server somewhere and tunnel through that though I can't say whether that'd work with absolute certainty
and that would still have some costs involved, though likely not nearly as much as other methods

The thing is there arent much options for vps in Argentina, at least reliable ones, and the ones that work got pretty expensive lately, even the cheapest options are expensive at least to my fourth world wallet
Also looked into Oracle cloud free but for some reason the account creation been broken for about a year with no answer from oracle

Vultr has a datacenter in Santiago, they’re not too expensive

I know it sounds crazy but literally my country is borderline venezuela

oh yeah with that being out of budget I doubt there are any options that would be in budget
ipv4s just aren't cheap enough for there to be any kind of an actual answer to it

yea, tonight will test cloudflare and update my results
