cloudflared

brew install cloudflared v2026.6.1 Apache-2.0

Go client for Cloudflare Tunnel, exposing local services to the internet through Cloudflare's edge network without opening firewall ports.

Why you might care

Cloudflared lets you securely tunnel HTTP/HTTPS and SSH traffic from private networks to Cloudflare's global network, eliminating the need for public IPs or VPN setup. It's useful for developers exposing local development servers, teams accessing internal services, or replacing traditional bastion hosts. The single-binary model and tight Cloudflare integration make it simpler than managing reverse proxies for Zero Trust access patterns.
