β¨ man(1) β the cloudflared glow-up β¨
okay bestie, so this is the man page for cloudflared, from the cloudflared man page manual π
yes the manual is literally named after the star of the show. come sit with me, this one's short and sweet π
π NAME π
cloudflared β creates a connection to the cloudflare edge network π
like, that's the whole vibe. it makes a connection. to the edge. iconic behavior honestly π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β cloudflared creates a persistent connection between a local service and the Cloudflare network. periodt. it just keeps that connection alive, no cap π«Ά
and then, once the daemon is running and the Tunnel has been configured β yes Tunnel with a capital T, she's main character energy β the local service can be locked down to only allow connections from Cloudflare π₯
ngl the lockdown part is lowkey the flex here: your local service stops talking to just anyone and only lets Cloudflare through the door πβ¨
