Argo Tunnel: A Private Link to the Public Internet
Apr 5, 2018Dani Grant
Summary
This post introduces Argo Tunnel, a new product that provides a secure, private connection between a web server and Cloudflare. It aims to replace older, more complex, and expensive methods like GRE tunnels by offering a simpler, faster, and more secure alternative. Argo Tunnel reduces the attack surface by making origin servers unroutable to the public internet and leverages Cloudflare's Argo smart routing for performance benefits. It is bundled with Argo and offers a free tier consideration.
