“Cloudflare Tunnel” is a zero-configuration way to securely expose internal services to the internet.
Traffic is sent through Cloudflare’s global network, making it safe from DDoS attacks and unauthorised access while giving the benefits of SSL encryption, “Access Control” and reduced latency.
It is a replacement for Port Forwarding and allows services to be hidden behind a HTTP or HTTPS endpoint, removing the need for public IP addresses.
It can easily be set up in four simple steps after creating an account with Cloudflare.
Similarly, another article on “Cloudflare for Developers” explores how to use Cloudflare Workers to build a serverless api gateway to securely expose your internal services to the internet.
