Secure private networking for everyone: users, nodes, agents, Workers — introducing Cloudflare Mesh
blog.cloudflare.com
Cloudflare Mesh provides secure, private network access for users, nodes, and autonomous AI agents. By integrating with Workers VPC, developers can now grant agents scoped access to private databases and APIs without manual tunnels.

It’s a 10 minute read when it should probably be a 2 minute read, likely due to LLMs fluffing it up (I got that vibe from skimming it). But what do you all think, is there anything in here that would compel you to switch from your current VPN solution to this?

    If you’re not dealing with CGNAT, Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is relatively easy to set up, doesn’t require a VPS and is designed specifically for dealing with changing IP address endpoints.

    Instead of connecting using your (sometimes changing) IP address, you use a URL that dynamically updates when your IP changes. For instance, with DDNS you would access your home network using mynetwork.ddnsservice.com. The DDNS service returns your current IP and your connection can complete. Most routers have built DDNS clients that update the DDNS service when your home IP changes.

    There are various DDNS services out there, but I like DuckDNS. It’s free (or you can choose to donate), easy to set up and has worked flawlessly for me for years.
