Cloudflare Tunnels

This guide will show you how to use Cloudflare Tunnels. With Cloudflare Tunnels you can use a domain with an SSL certificate for your website.

Requirements

• A Cloudflare account
• A domain name with Cloudflare DNS
• A website running on our servers.

Getting started

1. Login to Cloudflare

Navigate to the Cloudflare Zero Trust Dashboard (If it asks you to select a plan to pay for, close that tab and open a new one. All of the things we need are available in the Free plan) and login with your Cloudflare account.
Then, on the sidebar, click on Zero Trust, open the dropdown menu under the Networks section, and select Tunnels.

2. Create a Tunnel

1. Click on Create a Tunnel

2. Choose Select Cloudflared

3. Enter a name for your tunnel (e.g.: "My Website Tunnel" or "AFK Hosting Tunnel")

4. Click Save Tunnel

5. Select the Windows option and copy the command that is shown. It should look something like this:

   cloudflared.exe service install ey...

6. Open your server's Startup tab and paste the command into the Cloudflared Tunnel Token field, then REMOVE THE cloudflared.exe service install PART so it looks like this:

   eyabOigTzHBvW0UU82RWenDe6UfGfwE2nCIS3zJOJi4vjwQnEvcO6p2uRNuv1T87huOibpkhLgqpzZhUDcEBCyXKuwvpbv7UsORcIOF1EC6Vsotq3uufLM1QyJfFirI3MPqTzkcbD8XeNTBgQfwZrMpRyZgFYcbmTanTFBf1CyieTuxR1V7QyUh8

7. Toggle the Enable Cloudflare Tunnel switch to ON

8. Restart your server.

9. Once your server has restarted, you should now see a new item in the Connectors section of the Tunnels dashboard. Once you see this, click the Next button.

10. You will now be taken to the Public Hostname tab. Here you can create a hostname for your website.

    Website

    • Subdomain: This is the subdomain you want to use for your website. For example, if you want to use store.example.com then you would enter store here.

    • Domain: The domain connected to your Cloudflare account. Use the domain you want to use for your website.

    • Path: Leave empty.

    • Service Type: Select HTTP

    • URL: Go to the Console tab of your server, copy the Address field, and paste it here. For example, if your address is us1.afkhosting.win:39600, then you would enter us1.afkhosting.win:39600 here.

    Click the Complete Setup button to create the hostname. You can now visit your website by going to the subdomain you just created (e.g., store.example.com) instead of the Address in the Console tab.

    SnailyCAD

    SnailyCAD Client Tunnel

    In the current form, enter the information for your SnailyCAD Client. This is the URL that you will use to access the CAD.

    • Subdomain: This is the subdomain you want to use for your SnailyCAD Client. For example, if you want to use cad.example.com then you would enter cad here.
    • Domain: The domain connected to your Cloudflare account. For example, if you want to use cad.example.com then you would enter example.com here.
    • Path: Leave empty.
    • Service Type: Select HTTP
    • URL: Go to the Network tab of your server, copy the Hostname and Port for allocation that you created for the SnailyCAD Client, and paste it here seperated by a colon (:). For example, if your Hostname is us1.afkhosting.win and your Port is 39600, then you would enter us1.afkhosting.win:39600 here. Click the Complete Setup button to create the hostname.

    
    

    SnailyCAD API Tunnel

    The current tunnel only accepts the SnailyCAD Client, so you will need to create a second Public Hostname for the SnailyCAD API. To do this, follow the steps below:

    1. Click on the name of the tunnel you just created.
    2. Click on the Edit button in the upper right corner.
    3. Navigate to the Public Hostname tab.
    4. Click on Add a public hostname.
    5. Enter the configuration for your domain:
       • Subdomain: This is the subdomain you want to use for your SnailyCAD API. For example, if you want to use cad-api.example.com then you would enter cad-api here.
       • Domain: The domain connected to your Cloudflare account. For example, if you want to use cad-api.example.com then you would enter example.com here.
       • Path: Leave empty.
       • Service Type: Select HTTP
       • URL: Go to the Network tab of your server, copy the Hostname and Port for allocation that you created for the SnailyCAD API, and paste it here seperated by a colon (:). For example, if your Hostname is us1.afkhosting.win and your Port is 39601, then you would enter us1.afkhosting.win:39601 here.
    6. Click Save. You should now see two Public Hostnames in the Public Hostname tab. One for the SnailyCAD Client and one for the SnailyCAD API.

    Configuring SnailyCAD

    You will need to configure SnailyCAD to use the new Public Hostnames you just created. Follow the steps below to do this:

    • Go to the Startup tab of your SnailyCAD server.
    • Set the Client URL to the Public Hostname you created for the SnailyCAD Client. For example, https://cad.example.com.
    • Set the API URL to the Public Hostname you created for the SnailyCAD API. For example, https://cad-api.example.com. (Note: DO NOT add /v1 at the end of the URL)
    • Set the Domain to the domain you used for the Public Hostnames. For example, example.com.

    To apply the changes, you will need to restart your SnailyCAD server.

    You can now visit your SnailyCAD Client by going to the subdomain you just created (e.g., cad.example.com) and your SnailyCAD API by going to the subdomain you created for it (e.g., cad-api.example.com).
