Step 1: Create a Tunnel¶

- Select Save tunnel.
Install Cloudflared:

Before you can connect an application through your tunnel, ensure you have:

To connect an application:

Add a Public Hostname:
- In the Public Hostnames tab, click Add a public hostname.
- Enter a subdomain and select a domain from the dropdown.

Specify a Service:
- Enter the service URL (e.g., https://localhost:8000).
Additional Application Settings:
- Add any parameters you would like for your tunnel configuration.
Select Save Hostname: Your application is now publicly accessible on the Internet. To manage user access, consider creating an Access application.

To connect a private network:

- Select Save tunnel.

Navigate to https://yourdomain.com in your browser to verify that the HTTPS connection is working.
