Cloudflared is the Cloudflare Tunnel client used to create and manage tunnels that expose local or private services to the Internet through Cloudflare's edge network.
It authenticates to your Cloudflare account and routes traffic from the Cloudflare network to your origin with TLS, providing an added layer of security and control.
Key Features
- Easy-to-install agent with low performance overhead
- Command-line configuration
- Built-in DDoS protection
- Load balancing across origin pools with Cloudflare Load Balancer
- Encrypted tunnels with TLS (origin-side certificates)
- Application and protocol-level error logging
Use Cases
- Provide secure remote access to internal applications via Cloudflare Access (Zero Trust)
- Quickly expose local development environments for previews using Quick Tunnels
- Improve remote performance and reliability with Argo Smart Routing across the Cloudflare network
