cloudflared

cloudflared is the essential command-line client and tunneling daemon for Cloudflare Tunnel. It establishes secure, encrypted tunnels between the Cloudflare global network and your internal origins, eliminating the need to open firewall ports. This daemon securely proxies public HTTP/WebSocket traffic to your applications and provides secure, VPN-less access to private Layer 4 (TCP) services like SSH and RDP via `cloudflared access` or the WARP client. cloudflared enhances origin security by keeping services highly isolated, enabling efficient and secure connectivity to Cloudflare's global network without exposing public IP addresses.
