Both Cloudflare tunnel and Nabu Casa expose the login page to the public internet. However, people seem to keep telling me that I shouldn’t use Cloudflare because it exposes the login screen to the internet. Yet so does Nabu…

I’m confused, I don’t know much about networking, but I’d like to have my stuff accessible to devices that can’t use a VPN. Can anyone give me a clear explanation as to why one is more secure than the other and why I shouldn’t use Cloudflare? Or maybe I can use Cloudflare proxy but with other security measures?
