-This setup is ideal for SaaS providers that do not need granular load balancing, such as [geo-based traffic steering](/load-balancing/understand-basics/traffic-steering/), across multiple origin servers. It's also well-suited for simple testing and development environments, where [protecting your origin server](/fundamentals/basic-tasks/protect-your-origin-server/) by only allowing requests through the Cloudflare Tunnel is sufficient. However, for distributed applications requiring load balancing at both global and local levels, we recommend using [Cloudflare's Load Balancer](/load-balancing/) with global and local traffic management capabilities.
