## Manage Cloudflare Tunnel directly from the main Cloudflare Dashboard

Feb 20, 2026 

[ Cloudflare Tunnel ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/)[ Cloudflare Tunnel for SASE ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/) 

[Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/) is now available in the main Cloudflare Dashboard at [Networking > Tunnels ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/tunnels), bringing first-class Tunnel management to developers using Tunnel for securing origin servers.

![Manage Tunnels in the Core Dashboard](https://developers.cloudflare.com/_astro/tunnel-core-dashboard.BGPqaHfo_Pi6HO.webp) 

This new experience provides everything you need to manage Tunnels for [public applications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/routing-to-tunnel/), including:

* **Full Tunnel lifecycle management**: Create, configure, delete, and monitor all your Tunnels in one place.
* **Native integrations**: View Tunnels by name when configuring [DNS records](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/create-dns-records/) and [Workers VPC](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-vpc/) — no more copy-pasting UUIDs.
* **Real-time visibility**: Monitor [replicas](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/configure-tunnels/tunnel-availability/) and Tunnel [health status](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/troubleshoot-tunnels/common-errors/#tunnel-status) directly in the dashboard.
* **Routing map**: Manage all ingress routes for your Tunnel, including [public applications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/routing-to-tunnel/), [private hostnames](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/cloudflared/connect-private-hostname/), [private CIDRs](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/cloudflared/connect-cidr/), and [Workers VPC services](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-vpc/), from a single interactive interface.

#### Choose the right dashboard for your use case

**Core Dashboard**: Navigate to [Networking > Tunnels ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/tunnels) to manage Tunnels for:

* Securing origin servers and [public applications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/routing-to-tunnel/) with CDN, WAF, Load Balancing, and DDoS protection
* Connecting [Workers to private services](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-vpc/) via Workers VPC

**Cloudflare One Dashboard**: Navigate to [Zero Trust > Networks > Connectors ↗](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/networks/connectors) to manage Tunnels for:

* Securing your public applications with [Zero Trust access policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/http-apps/self-hosted-public-app/)
* Connecting users to [private applications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/non-http/self-hosted-private-app/)
* Building a [private mesh network](https://developers.cloudflare.com/reference-architecture/architectures/sase/#connecting-networks)

Both dashboards provide complete Tunnel management capabilities — choose based on your primary workflow.
