What's important with local encryption for services like home assistant and actual? I know I don't want an unencrypted instance of my proxmox services because I'm in an apartment complex in the city. Still trying to figure out how encryption like cloudflared works and if it's the best option. Generally trying to understand networking beyond just running a step-by-step and assuming it works.
#How do I choose a method of local encryption?

It looks like cloudflared has some privacy concerns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqy3krzmSMA

What do you mean by local encryption? Like, your disk at rest? Or you mean TLS?

Cloudflare can read your traffic since they manage the tls stuff so its up to you whether you trust that or not but otherwise its a simple way to expose your HA with TLS

There are a great many ways of easily exposing TLS from your home. Cloudflared isn’t even the easiest. It does, however, serve a purpose of allowing you to expose without publishing any ports as well as hiding your IP.
If those are important for you, it’s basically the only game in town unless you rent a VM and use your own tunnel and proxy.
If you just want TLS, Caddy, or Nginx Proxy Manager will make it easy.
