Cloudflare Tunnel creates a secure, outbound-only connection from your origin server to Cloudflare's network. This eliminates the need to open inbound ports on your firewall, reducing attack surface and simplifying network configuration. You'd sign up to securely expose applications without complex firewall rules or needing a public IP address.
