Securing Private Network Access with Cloudflare Tunnel

Feb 20, 2025 By Alexander Mattoni In Cycle

For many, Cloudflare provides an essential suite of network security tools that their organization integrates with deeply. One such tool is "Cloudflare Tunnel" - a secure way to connect resources to Cloudflare without a publicly routable IP address. When deploying sensitive applications to Cycle, Cloudflare Tunnel can be leveraged to ensure all traffic is routed through Cloudflare before reaching your environment's load balancer. This extra layer of security provides quite a few benefits.
