Well yeah, that would get your host IP...if they're doing a general scan of whole ISP IP ranges (Which nothing could really stop, except for a good firewall). But there is much more low-hanging fruit for hackers than to scan tens of thousands of unoccupied subnets.
Ilulz. Automated scans cost nothing in resources. That would not find a host IP, it’d find the public Ip and open port.
I would consider time a pretty major resource....and yes, you are correct I misspoke/typed. I meant public IP, not host IP...
Anyway, the point is not to prevent all attack vectors (which is impossible, unless you're totally offline/air-gapped/etc), OP wants to minimize the probability of infiltration. So to get back to the question, yes CF tunnels help with that when implemented correctly.
