SMB service over Tunnel
Good Morning/Evening everyone...
I'm facing an issue setting up an smb share link to my NAS where I setup a tunnel and it works fine but the link it provides starts with
https://smb.mydomain.com while many devices don't accept server addresses starting with http/https as valid address.. they expect smb:// for example apple iOS files app only expects smb://
how do we work around this issue?5 Replies

Cloudflare Tunnels use Cloudflare's proxy, which only supports proxying HTTP Traffic. If you want to use non-http applications over your tunnel, Cloudflare has a few other options:
For a few specific protocols such as SSH, RDP, and SMB, Cloudflare has guides for them here:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/
For Arbitrary TCP like Minecraft, MySQL, and any other tcp application, Cloudflare has a guide here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/arbitrary-tcp/
For Arbitrary UDP like Minecraft Bedrock, SMTP, and any other udp application, you will need to use Private Networking with WARP: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/private-net/connect-private-networks/
Please note for all of these except SSH and VNC which can be browser-rendered, you will either need to use cloudflared (Cloudflare's tunnel daemon) on the client machine running in the background or Private Networking with WARP, and have WARP installed on the client machine logged into your Zero Trust Team.
Hope that helps
Let me take some time to read them.. thank you very much in advance ❤️
No worries. If you have follow up questions I might not have the answer, but there are tons of smarter people here who will help eventually.
Good luck 🙂 Happy Friday.
