A Cloudflare Tunnel creates outbound-only connections from your server to Cloudflare's network, effectively exposing your services without opening inbound ports. This enhances security and simplifies firewall management. For downloads, it allows you to serve files from your server behind a firewall, making them accessible via a Cloudflare-managed domain without direct public exposure.
