Summary of Changes

Hello @ATechAdventurer, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly updates the EC2 deployment documentation by introducing Cloudflared as a primary, simplified method for securing HTTPS connections. It refines existing NGINX setup instructions, offers clearer security guidelines, and provides a comparative analysis to help users choose the most suitable reverse proxy solution for their deployment.

Highlights

• Introduced Cloudflared Tunnel Option: Added comprehensive instructions for setting up a Cloudflared tunnel as a recommended, simpler alternative for HTTPS, eliminating the need for manual SSL certificate management and additional open ports.
• Updated NGINX Configuration Guidance: Clarified when to open ports 80/443 for NGINX and restructured the reverse proxy configuration section to present NGINX as an alternative to Cloudflared.
• Enhanced Security Recommendations: Provided specific security advice for both Cloudflared (no additional port restrictions, Cloudflare Access) and NGINX (restricting direct access to port 3000).
• Added Comparison Table: Included a detailed comparison table outlining the differences between Cloudflared Tunnel and NGINX + Let's Encrypt in terms of setup complexity, security, SSL/TLS, performance, cost, dependencies, required ports, and maintenance.
