How To Set Up Cloudflared Tunnel

Overview

I used the link below as a guide:

• https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/install-and-setup/tunnel-guide/local/#deb-install

Steps

1. Install and Login

sudo wget -q https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
cloudflared tunnel login

You will pick which domain to connect to during the log in process.

2. Create Tunnel with a name

cloudflared tunnel create TUNNEL_NAME

This should start an active session, leave that running and go on to next step (3).

3. Migrate Tunnel in Zero Trust Dashboard

• Login to Zero Trust via the account you connected
• Navigate: Access > Tunnels
• You should see your TUNNEL_NAME with status active
• Click configure
• Click through steps to migrate
• Add public hostname and path to service.

• Click Save hostname

• Back on the Tunnel Overview Tab, copy the service install code and run it on your machine to get setting pulled down

4. Securing Host (if needed)

• Navigate: Access > Applications
• Click App an application
• Select Self-hosted
• Give it the same subdomain and domain as the tunnel
• Policies, add the admins
