Argo Tunnels: Spread the Load

What's this blog post about?

Argo Tunnel is an innovative solution by Cloudflare that enables users to deploy applications anywhere, even behind NAT or firewall. With support for load balancing, traffic can be distributed across multiple tunnels. The service allows users to expose their web server to the internet without opening routes in their firewall or setting up dedicated routes. Argo Tunnel is a lightweight GRE tunnel from Cloudflare to the user's server and does not require any changes to the firewall or complex routing policies. Load balancing capabilities can now balance traffic between multiple instances of an Argo Tunnel, providing failure tolerance and improved performance worldwide.
