A Boring Announcement: Free Tunnels for Everyone

Argo Tunnel, now renamed as Cloudflare Tunnel, is a secure method of connecting resources directly to Cloudflare. It creates an outbound-only connection between services and Cloudflare by deploying a lightweight connector in the user's environment. This feature was previously priced based on bandwidth consumption but is now available for free. Users can still add the paid Argo Smart Routing feature to accelerate traffic. The Tunnel enhances security by making outbound-only connections to Cloudflare, removing the need for poking ingress rules into machines and leaving infrastructure vulnerable to attacks. It also allows users to enforce Zero Trust rules through Cloudflare, validating each request to their resources.
