Cool stuff! I built a similar cluster of Orange Pi 5s with NVMe drives. For IP masking I'm paying for a $3.50 VPS to have nginx forward raw packets.

Fwiw Cloudflare Proxy and, to a lesser extent Tunnels, are de facto MITM attacks. I don't exactly trust large unprofitable corporations to do the right thing when they decrypt all of my and my users' traffic.

Not that CF is a malicious entity, but, the potential for them to be used as one is a looming threat. Then again, so is any VPS you host on :^)
