Managing Cloudflare tunnels directly from a VSCode extension has never been easier. Streamline your development workflow by creating and managing permanent and quick tunnels without leaving your IDE.
I got tired of using the CLI (cloudflared) to interact with my Cloudflare tunnels, and I wasn't easily able to manage multiple Cloudflare accounts when I needed to switch between them. So, I created a way with VSCode via this extension.
It uses a combination of the CLI and the Cloudflare API, offering a pleasant interface to control and add persistent or quick tunnels. It can manage multiple Cloudflare profiles and update DNS records to point domains to your chosen tunnel, so no more annoying going back and forth between your DNS settings and VSCode.
It is open source, so I am more than happy to have contributions.
@willbot Congrats on the launch, Willbot! 🎉 Managing Cloudflare tunnels directly from VSCode sounds like a huge time-saver, especially for developers juggling multiple accounts.
How does this compare to Cloudflare’s official CLI tools in terms of usability and automation? Also, do you plan to support advanced tunneling features like load balancing or integration with other DevOps tools? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚀
This looks like a valuable developer productivity tool. Here's a fitting comment for their Product Hunt launch:
"Finally, a VSCode extension that solves a real developer workflow pain point! Managing Cloudflare tunnels directly from the IDE is such a natural fit - it's one of those tools where you wonder why it didn't exist sooner.
The ability to handle both permanent and quick tunnels without context switching is a huge time-saver. Love that it's free too - really shows commitment to the developer community. As someone who works with Cloudflare tunnels regularly, this is going straight into my essential extensions list.
@Willbot - great first launch! Any plans to add support for additional tunnel configurations or team collaboration features? Would love to see this grow into a full tunnel management suite within VSCode. Keep up the excellent work! 🚀"
The project has solid initial traction with 157 upvotes and #7 daily rank, suggesting there's real demand for streamlining tunnel management workflows. The combination of Productivity, UX, and Developer Tools tags positions it perfectly for the target audience.
