Use zero-trust tunnels to stop wasting time on server security
◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from Pieter Levels1d ago
Managing open ports and firewall rules is a low-leverage activity that creates unnecessary security risks for your startup. Switching to Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels allows you to focus on shipping features while ensuring your infrastructure remains invisible to the public internet.
Takeaways
- Close all VPS ports to eliminate the risk of automated security breaches.
- Use Tailscale for secure, private team access to your backend infrastructure.
- Deploy Cloudflare Tunnels to expose services without revealing your server's IP.
