I’ve migrated from cloudflare pages to cloudflare tunnels as I wanted to do a little bit more.

I can’t segregate my network as my ISPs router is rather limited, which means no vLANs. Connecting another router would introduce a double nat as they don't allow bridging. So I'm running my website basically "raw" in a hyperV virtual machine. the website is semi-static and made out of flatfiles, therefore it's is quite impossible to login into it. as stated before i’m using cloudflare tunnels to expose a nginx server to the interner. what are the chances someone or something (bot) inflataring my network? 100% safety is not possible but how safe am i?

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.
