outpost allows you to expose self-hosted web services to the Internet via popular cloud providers.

Cloudflare

HTTP sites can be hosted with Cloudflare easily:

outpost can also use an EC2 proxy to expose any TCP/UDP port. The proxy instance communicates with the origin service via an ephemeral wireguard tunnel.
