Cloudflare tunnel doesn't route traffic

Zero Trust Cloudflare Tunnel
1

I followed this set of instructions to create a remotely managed tunnel through the dashboard:

My tunnel was created, and I can see that it has a healthy status in the dashboard after I started cloudflared.

I set it up with this public hostname (perf-cloudflare-https-aws-us-east-2.ngrok-cloudflare.com) and i can see that it created a CNAME entry for that hostname pointed to the tunnel’s UUID.

The tunnel is routed to http://localhost:8080 which I confirmed is running (if I tunnel via “ngrok http 8080” that ngrok tunnel works fine).

What else am I supposed to do? It seems like everything is setup correctly but I can’t even do an nslookup on the host name.

Sorry that you are having trouble with this tunnel.

I set it up with this public hostname (perf-cloudflare-https-aws-us-east-2.ngrok-cloudflare.com) and i can see that it created a CNAME entry for that hostname pointed to the tunnel’s UUID.

If you have a CNAME for that tunnel in your domain then it would normally be for your domain. so it would be something like perf-cloudflare-https-aws-us-east-2.ngrok-cloudflare.com.YOURDOMAIN.TLD

Could you confirm that the CNAME in your zone isn’t working?
