When you set up a server <\/a>on the internet, it becomes an instant target for various attacks by internet bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloudflare Tunnel<\/strong> is a simpler and more secure solution to protect your apps<\/a> and web servers from direct attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Cloudflare Tunnel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Cloudflare tunnel means “a<\/strong> private<\/strong> connection between your web resources(webserver) and Cloudflare”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only traffic that goes through Cloudflare can reach your server through the tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it another way, it’s a secure connection. Only Cloudflare can view and communicate with the server; it is unroutable for the rest of the internet as if the server does not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can use Tunnel to make a private connection from their origin server to Cloudflare without using a publicly routable IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, this secure connection is built by running cloudflared<\/strong>, a lightweight daemon on your origin that generates a secure, outbound-only connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only traffic that passes through Cloudflare will be able to reach your origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GRE Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GRE tunnels were utilized in the past for this type of private deployment. It is a data-transfer protocol<\/a> that simulates a physical connection between two servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Network administrators on both sides of the link must work together to configure a GRE tunnel. It’s an expensive service that’s usually only available to big businesses with big expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u00a0wanted to figure out a way to get the same level of security as a GRE tunnel without the cost or effort. And with that instruction, their team began construction on the Tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero trust Security – Trust No one!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional IT network security assumes that everyone and everything on the network is trustworthy. Nothing and no one is trusted in a Zero Trust architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an IT security approach that involves tight identity verification for everyone who wants to access resources on a private network, whether inside or outside the network perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
