# Connect your private applications

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/learning-paths/clientless-access/connect-private-applications/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Cloudflare Tunnel allows you to securely connect your applications to Cloudflare without a publicly routable IP address. With Tunnel, you do not send traffic to an external IP — instead, a lightweight daemon in your infrastructure (`cloudflared`) creates outbound-only connections to Cloudflare's global network.

## Objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

* Create a Cloudflare Tunnel.
* Publish your application via a public hostname.
