Summary

Cloudflare introduces Argo Tunnel, a private connection between your web server and their network. It functions as a virtual P.O. box, allowing traffic to reach your server only through Cloudflare while remaining unroutable for the rest of the internet. This solution replaces GRE tunnels, which are expensive and slow. Argo Tunnel is fast to install and run, offering improved security and performance benefits. It is built on top of Argo, Cloudflare's smart routing system, and is included for free with Argo-enabled accounts. A free version may be offered in the future for testing purposes.
