Contains the command-line client for Argo Tunnel, a tunneling daemon that proxies any local webserver through the Cloudflare network. Extensive documentation can be found in the [Argo Tunnel section](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps) of the Cloudflare Docs.
Before you use Argo Tunnel, you'll need to complete a few steps in the Cloudflare dashboard. The website you add to Cloudflare will be used to route traffic to your Tunnel.
