Cloudflare brings Tunnel management to core dashboard with full lifecycle controls
Dashboard Integration
Cloudflare has moved Tunnel management to the main Cloudflare Dashboard at Networking > Tunnels, bringing first-class tunnel administration capabilities alongside the platform's core networking tools. This addresses the previous workflow where developers had to switch between dashboards or copy-paste tunnel UUIDs when configuring related services.
Key Capabilities
The new core dashboard experience includes:
- Full lifecycle management: Create, configure, delete, and monitor tunnels from a single interface
- Native integrations: View tunnels by name when configuring DNS records and Workers VPC services, eliminating manual UUID handling
- Real-time monitoring: Track tunnel replicas and health status directly in the dashboard
- Interactive routing map: Manage all ingress routes including public applications, private hostnames, private CIDRs, and Workers VPC services from one place
Workflow Clarity
Cloudflare maintains two dashboard options depending on your primary use case:
- Core Dashboard (Networking > Tunnels): For developers securing origin servers, public applications, and connecting Workers to private services via Workers VPC
- Cloudflare One Dashboard (Zero Trust > Networks > Connectors): For Zero Trust access policies, private application connectivity, and mesh network deployments
Both dashboards provide complete Tunnel management capabilities—developers can choose based on their primary workflow rather than managing tunnels across multiple interfaces.
