cloudflared

About

cloudflared is the core command-line client and tunneling daemon for Cloudflare Tunnel. It establishes a secure tunnel between the Cloudflare network and your private origins, securely proxying traffic from Cloudflare's global network to your services without requiring any firewall port openings. This allows your origins to remain highly isolated, significantly enhancing security. cloudflared supports routing public HTTP/WebSocket traffic to your applications and provides secure, VPN-less access for private Layer 4 (TCP) traffic, such as SSH and RDP, via `cloudflared access` or the WARP client. As a crucial component connecting private network resources to Cloudflare's global network, cloudflared facilitates secure, efficient connectivity without exposing public IPs.
