Cloudflared Setup Guide

# Download the latest version of cloudflared
wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 -O /usr/bin/cloudflared

# Give executable permissions to the downloaded file
chmod +x /usr/bin/cloudflared

# Check the version of cloudflared to confirm the installation

Creating a Cloudflare Tunnel

After installing Cloudflared, you need to create a Cloudflare tunnel.

1. Visit https://one.dash.cloudflare.com.
2. Navigate to Access -> Tunnels -> Create a tunnel.
3. Fill in a name you like and save the tunnel.
4. Find the code block below If you already have cloudflared installed on your machine.

Starting the Cloudflared Service

To start the Cloudflared service on your machine, follow the steps below:

# Start the service
/etc/init.d/cloudflared start

# Remove the service from the default runlevel (just in case it was added earlier)
rc-update del cloudflared

# Add the service to the runlevel again (this ensures that the service starts automatically when the system boots)
rc-update add cloudflared

# Start the service immediately
rc-service cloudflared start

# Add the service to the default runlevel
rc-update add cloudflared default

That's it! You have successfully installed and set up Cloudflared on your system.
