Cloudflared is a tool provided by Cloudflare for creating secure connections and exposing private networks and services to the public internet.

Instructions:

1. Installation and Setup:

   • Cloudflared is a connector application tool used to connect private services and networks to Cloudflare's network. You can find detailed installation and setup steps in Cloudflare's official documentation.

2. Run Cloudflared Container:

   • Example command to run the Cloudflared container using Docker:

     docker run cloudflare/cloudflared:latest tunnel --no-autoupdate --hello-world
     

     This example uses the --hello-world parameter, relying on trycloudflare.com, and does not require a Cloudflare account. It is designed as a single command for quick start.

3. Practical Use:

   • For practical use, it is recommended to create a free Cloudflare account and create a tunnel in the Access -> Tunnels section of the Cloudflare Console. There, you will receive a one-liner command to start and run the Cloudflared Docker container, requiring authentication via your Cloudflare account.

4. Use Cases:

   • Cloudflared can be used to expose private HTTP services to public DNS hostnames, optionally with access control via Cloudflare Access.
   • It can also connect private networks, allowing WARP-registered users to access via TCP/UDP IP/port, implementing Zero Trust security policies and avoiding traditional VPN usage.

Note: Specific steps may vary due to updates from Cloudflare. It is recommended to consult the official documentation for the latest information.
