I have seen conflicting reports on what you can get over tunnels and possibly even things getting “banned” working over tunnels
The use case is simple: running a minio (s3) service that is running at an edge server over cellular and making it accessible over the internet.
Large files are generated and uploaded at line speed to the edge server into minio, and around 1000 users need to access small chunks those files.
The edge server moves around so public IP is not known, furthermore
But to cloudflare there will be only one “user” just me the developer. But a thousand different people access the minio S3 API to do GET, PUT etc requests to it. These people are just using signed url. They are external public users.
We will use the tunnel for about 100-400 GB of transfer per month on the heaviest of months.
Is this a supported use case for tunnel even with just 1 user? That seems overly generous and I don’t want to get a ban because this is a mission critical business use case. We currently use ngrok and the bill is about $100 a month but we generally use cloudflare for everything so I only want to switch to this if it’s in spitting distance and it seems that it is actually much cheaper which has me worried that I’m missing something. Obviously the pricing is designed for if it is used as an internal tool yeah?
