Cloudflare Tunnels is great if you want to expose hosted websites or applications to the internet in a secure way without opening ports in your firewall. At the same time your website will be secured with a valid SSL certificate from Cloudflare. The classic way to do this would be you opening up specific ports in your firewall, but with Cloudflare Tunnels you don’t need to expose any port from your firewall to the internet. Setup Cloudflare Tunnels and let Cloudflare take care of security. At the time of making this video the service is free for using the functionality I displayed in this video.

I have internet and IPTV from KPN (local ISP) here in the Netherlands. I chose not to use their router but instead use pfsense. The internet configuration part is pretty straight forward but if you want to get routed IPTV working you have to configure specific settings in pfSense. In this video I will show you how I have set this up for my situation. If you need to setup routed IPTV on pfSense as well, use this video as a guideline and check what the specific VLANs and IP ranges are for your ISP.
