Tunnel Management in Core Dashboard

Cloudflare has moved Tunnel management to the main Cloudflare Dashboard at Networking > Tunnels, giving developers a unified interface for securing origin servers and public applications. This consolidation reduces friction by eliminating the need to context-switch between the core dashboard and Cloudflare One dashboard for different tunnel use cases.

Key Features

The new dashboard experience includes:

• Full lifecycle management: Create, configure, delete, and monitor tunnels from a single location
• Native integrations: Reference tunnels by name when configuring DNS records and Workers VPC connections—no more UUID copy-pasting
• Real-time monitoring: Track replica status and tunnel health directly in the dashboard
• Unified routing interface: Manage all ingress routes (public applications, private hostnames, CIDRs, and Workers VPC services) from one interactive map

Dashboard Organization

Cloudflare maintains two complementary dashboards for different workflows:

• Core Dashboard (Networking > Tunnels): For securing origin servers and public applications with CDN, WAF, and DDoS protection; also for connecting Workers to private services via Workers VPC
• Cloudflare One Dashboard (Zero Trust > Networks > Connectors): For Zero Trust access policies, private application routing, and private mesh networking

Both dashboards offer complete tunnel management—developers should choose based on their primary use case and workflow.
