Last Updated: October 7, 2025

Thought I should post my guide on how to do this, as I've struggled with this for quite some time now. I wanted something to bypass the NAT/router as I did not have the option of port-forwarding. I will also be moving quite some in the upcoming year, so dynamic IP was almost a given. And obviously I wanted it to be cheap. This does it all.

This is free, no port-forwarding required and no static IP required. Wildcard domain and SSL certificate supported. It works with Cloudflare tunnels, Cloudflare DNS, Nginx Proxy Manager and obviously TrueNAS SCALE.

I am not a professional, if you see a flaw in this design, please let me know!

Requirements:

• Domain name at Cloudflare

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

• Change Open with to Visual Studio Code.app (find it in Other... )

• Save it (Cmd+S) as something like "Open in VS Code"
