omg, this is the first guide ive seen that doesnt involve creating dockers or other crap, its just simply, explained step by step, like a normal human being !! There is such a need for this, in this area, as not everyone is in front of a PC 12hrs a day!! Couldnt hit Sub quick enough

You sir, saved my sanity!!! No more NPM for this dude, Cloudflare tunnel all the way! Thanks for all the effort put into making this video and helping us out.

Thank you so much for making this video. This is very informative and more so with the current environment where some ISPs restrict port opening from their end.

This is gold man. I've been leaning towards this solution and slowly learned the bits and pieces as time goes on. Thanks so much for laying all this out. Incredibly valuable!

All great recommendations as usual DB! Porkbun is by far the best for price and privacy (and ease of use). Cloudflare is incredible! I’d say they are sooo instrumental to daily operation, that I wonder what would happen if there was a significant outage. This all makes me think if I should think of some sort of ‘Plan B’ - if things go down, or receive maintenance. But if CloudFlare goes down - that everything might be as well... which is definitely a scary thought!

NPM is being retired and I have closed off the ports that I used to have open on my Firewall. I did have to do something differently though. I use a cloud service and have a Tunnel setup for it. I wanted to restrict it using the IP Address and Bypass method you showed but that would not work. I could net get through. I changed it to Service Auth and it works. I can reach from my home IP but not when I fire up a VPN and my address changes. This is a great solution and no more worrying about Ports, Certs, and NPM.

Damn DB, I love all your stuff, and you have helped me so much over the years. I was going to do this, but there is an upload limit of 100mb for free plans. might be a good idea to let people know that these free accounts are limited. Now if that only applies to cloudflare hosting, then I will stand corrected, but it appears to be managment for the entire site which is not cool, at least for what I am trying to do. Just thought I would remind you, while I luv ya, to remember to point out limitations before people start changing thier registrar information!

@@Sapious1 I just ended up purchasing a domain through cloudflare. It was more than fair on price and if I'm not mistaken, it provided a cost effective work around on the restriction yet still allowing me the ability to set up the home server via tunnel. I paid it up for like 5 years, and ultimately plan on migrating to web3 domains in the long run anyway. So far it has worked great, gaggle of musicians exchanging large multitrack files on my private server was the goal, and I can say mission successful. I am no pro like DB, and can not express enough how much I respect the guy for the time he gives to us, I'm just a guy determined to get what I need done.

Never known you can run multiple apps on a single cloudflared tunnel! Love it 😍❤️ Thanks always your comprehensive & wonderful tutorials. Could you please tell me how do you update the cloudflared tunnel, I see on my dashboard there is an update avialable but I cannot connect my tunnel through shell on Portainer? Thanks in advance.

I have problem. I created tunnel and when I add public hostname with with HTTP service which point to local IP with certain port after add them for first time works well, then Proxied CNAME record turns into non-proxied A record which point to my public IP. Where I made mistake?

Thanks!

Dear sir, how would be the setup with Shlink? I have a domain proxied, and then with nginx redirected that domain to local_ip:port where shlink server is running. The urls are created but not accessible

Hi there great job you are doing. I do think that you should do a comprihemsive video series about Cloudflare Zero Trust several catagories: Analytics, Acces, Gateway, Teams, Logs and Settings. I really think this could render a lot of views. Cheers

Awesome stuff. My ISP doesn't provide a static IP. I can now host applications and save bucks on cloud platforms.

what is a bit weird for me is: once I add each app and port in the tunnel definition, by default i can access all from outside the network. I tried as well access - application - selfhosted method. works perfectly, but is asking me for the code when I access from internal as well. What am I missing?

Very helpful video sir 👍. Please make a video on how to set up ftp server using cloudflared tunnelling ..

You can also turn the docker file into a stack in portainer like this: version: "3.9" services: tunnel: container_name: cloudflared-tunnel image: cloudflare/cloudflared restart: unless-stopped command: tunnel run environment: - TUNNEL_TOKEN=YOURTOKENHERE You can also add this on to other stacks if you wanted to make a tunnel for each application

Perfect. Just what i was looking for. Worked fine

I know it's a year on, but followed this and all working nicely. Only caveat is I've tried to setup for just specific IP access, it's still bringing up a page requesting an email address?

The only thing i am unable to tunnel is SSH access to my server. I also use a different port than the default 22. I can’t get to connect with tunnels with SSH. Can you give it a try?

What if my app1 (frontend) fires api requests to app2 (backend), both being hosted on localhost, which I've tunneled? It doesn't seem to work

I'm having some issues trying to get this working with my Nextcloud instance on TrueNAS Scale. It's running and I can access it on LAN, but if I try to access it through the tunnel the connection just times out. It worked using http before, but when I enabled https for Nextcloud it stopped working. I've tried enabling No TLS Verify and that doesn't fix it. Any ideas?

Thumbs up! I think this way easier than other method I found. By the way, is there anyway to prevent google from indexing these pages? I am using my current website for SEO as well.

I was setting up the same thing to my proxmox installation, got ready the home assistant and some other services. I knew about this method at work, but they used Google Workspace account to log in, thanks for the video.

Is it possible to use a security key for the restricted access of your applications inside/behind the Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnels?

I followed this video and another one. I was able to get the tunnel working, but the Access - Application using email access one time pin via email isn’t working. I am not presented a login page. I bought the domain via Cloudflare just so I didn’t run into any DNS propagation issues during initial setup.

If I only want one tunnel, do I have to use a subdomain? Am I able to just use the domain I purchased?

David - Another great video. I just have a minor hiccup, the tunnel is functioning properly when away from the home network or even over tailscale. When I connect locally, it cannot find the server. Any ideas? the only thing I can think of is there is something with cloudflare not liking my *.5.0/24 network compared to the *.0.0/24 network you use in the video. Any ideas oh great bearded wonder? Edit - figured it out - DNSSec needed to be set the same for both cloudflare and porkbun. Thank you again for the inspiration to tinker.

thank you so much this has been really informative. I would like to ask cause I see in most videos the tunnel is setup only for application or web, but what if you want to add servers to the tunnel, in my case to Azure Vm. Is this possible or been done?

i need further help, i want to have the domain purchased be a website but use this method with a subdomain for a owncloud setup... I dont know where to even begin can someone help me?

I get an error at 17:20. Clicking the "public hostname" doesn't work, however, navigating to the "service" URL works as intended. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Newb on devops. Where are applications coming from in this video? How would setup be different for application running on docker compose inside VPS?

I don't write comments a lot, but great job!!!

14:14 I would also add "-d --restart=always" here If the server is restarted or in the event of a power failure when you turn on the server, cloudflare tunnels will simply not work because docker has not started. --restart=always will automatically start docker (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Is there any way to get client real IP over the cloudflare tunnel? all my website logs are localhost

Great tutorial! Setup my CloudFlare/ Domain. All good except that my website is redirecting to a different service (same host, different port) for authentication (IDP). I can't figure out how to handle this redirect, as it's on a different port assume the response is not routed through my tunnel. Tried setting up a sub-domain for this authentication service but it's not working. Any idea's/ suggestions how to deal or setup so that the authentication service is served through cloudflare?
