Locally-managed tunnels

A locally-managed tunnel is a Cloudflare Tunnel created by running cloudflared tunnel create <NAME> on the command line. Tunnel configuration is stored in your local cloudflared directory.

Note

Cloudflare recommends setting up a remotely-managed tunnel. Remotely-managed configurations are stored on Cloudflare, which allows you to manage the tunnel from any machine using the dashboard, API, or Terraform.
