That might be good for phones, but it seems like they want one of the external tracker devices. Those are only good if you have a large network of people locating items (unless you just want to find things in your house)

Use the their New Year deals and get 7000 gb monthly transfer with 3.5 GB RAM. Only $32.49/year

Over cloudflare, it’s knowing you’re the man in the middle and not some company. It has a few other things like zero trust, and an authentication layer.

I use racknerd for VPS and it’s about $35/year. So definitely one of the cheapest part of my home lab.

I’m using Pangolin, which is the current hotness. It’s somewhat like cloud flare tunnels, but you need a VPS (find a cheap one). That tunnels back to your house. I opted into using crowdsec as another later. It’s a part of their setup process.
