    Tunneling was something that recently fell out of the work I've been doing [1]. I've used Cloudflare Tunnels before but I just have low trust with them recently with how big they are getting. All of these nice things come at the cost of pushing _a lot_ of traffic through their systems.

      If there&#x27;s any company in the world that can survive a lot of extra traffic being pushed through their systems it&#x27;s Cloudflare.

      I bet these new tunnels end up being a fraction of a percentage point of their network traffic.

        I didn&#x27;t take it as a capacity concern, but a &quot;how much data do they get to look at&quot; one.
