About:
Cloudflared is the official client for Cloudflare Tunnel, enabling secure connections from local services to the Cloudflare network without exposing public IPs or opening firewall ports. It establishes an encrypted, outbound-only connection from your origin to Cloudflare's edge, providing DDoS protection and performance benefits. The tool supports various protocols including HTTP, SSH, RDP, and database connections through the Zero Trust platform.
Key Features:
  • Zero-trust network access without VPNs
  • Encrypted outbound-only connections
  • Support for multiple protocols (HTTP, SSH, RDP, TCP)
  • Automatic failover and load balancing
  • Integration with Cloudflare Access policies
Use Cases:
  • Secure remote access to internal web applications
  • Exposing local development servers to the internet safely
  • Database connectivity without public exposure
  • SSH/RDP access through Cloudflare's edge network
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – Similar tunneling but Cloudflare-specific with Zero Trust integration
  • Tailscale – VPN-based mesh networking vs. edge proxy model
