https://quiet-marble-otter.trycloudflare.comWhy use Quick Tunnels
Cloudflare's network by default
Automatic HTTPS, edge DDoS protection, and globally reachable traffic without exposing your IP.
Made for development loops
Share previews, receive webhooks, run browser tests, or give a coding agent a real endpoint.
Outbound-only architectureYour machine stays
Your machine stays
private. The URL goes
everywhere.
cloudflared establishes an encrypted connection to the nearest Cloudflare location.
Requests return through that connection, so your router never accepts inbound traffic.

Agent-ready output
One command in. One URL out.
Add --output json when a script or coding agent needs to read the result. The tunnel still works exactly the same way.
