I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels (david.coffee)

Everything you wanted to know about using Cloudflare Zero Trust Argo tunnels for your personal network. For those like me who were still confused even after reading the article, I think this is the lowdown:

ZT tunnels let you expose private resources/services to the internet (or your users) via Cloudflare’s edge network. You install cloudflared on an internal host, and register a “tunnel” so that requests to a hostname or IP get forwarded securely into your network (similar to tailscale).
Unlike classic VPNs (which open full network access) or traditional Cloudflare tunnels (which merely publish a service), this approach adds granular access control; you can define exactly who can access which resource, based on identity, device posture, login method, etc.
It also solves NAT/firewall issues often faced by P2P-based overlays (e.g., Tailscale) by routing everything through Cloudflare’s network, avoiding connectivity failures when peer-to-peer fails.

For in-browser auth you can then use Cloudflare Access, or you can install the cloudflare Warp client which is a VPN-like thing that would give you full control over the access to whatever service(s) you were exposing this way.

I'm interested to know if anyone is using a Cloudflare tunnel to stream audio? It breaks their terms but I've read that they tend to ignore it.

I run audio and video through tunnels just fine. Last I checked they dropped the requirements for HTML only content and as long as you don't abuse the service and cache too much data you're OK with video and audio content.

Idk about audio but they rate limit video pretty quickly. Audio might be low enough bandwidth for them to not care, but be cautious

I run audiobookshelf through it and it works flawlessly.

I access my Navidrome and Invideous instance without any issues. I am the only user on my network, so that would be a consideration if a lot of people were using your streaming services.
