PR Change Summary

Updated documentation to clarify the use of public hostnames with Cloudflare Tunnel, emphasizing that an Enterprise Cloudflare Access plan is not required for exposure.

  • Added a note clarifying that a Cloudflare Tunnel can expose public hostnames without an Enterprise Access plan.
  • Specified that Access licensing is only needed for securing public hostnames with Access rules.
  • Enhanced the explanation of routing traffic to Cloudflare Tunnel connections.

How can I customize these reviews?

Check out the Hyperlint AI Reviewer docs for more information on how to customize the review.

If you just want to ignore it on this PR, you can add the hyperlint-ignore label to the PR. Future changes won't trigger a Hyperlint review.

Note specifically for link checks, we only check the first 30 links in a file and we cache the results for several hours (for instance, if you just added a page, you might experience this). Our recommendation is to add hyperlint-ignore to the PR to ignore the link check for this PR.

:::note

You do not need a paid Cloudflare Access plan to expose a public hostname via Cloudflare Tunnel. A Cloudflare Tunnel can route traffic to a public hostname without requiring an Access. Access licensing is only required if you want to [secure your public hostname with Cloudflare Access](/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/infrastructure-apps/) rules, such as requiring users to log in via an identity provider, or protect the hostname with Access policies and identity-based authentication.

Can we make it more clear that "securing your public hostname" is still possible on a Free account?
