I need help creating a tunnel with cloudflare on linux (ubuntu)
I have a server pc that I am currently using to host a server on a game called SCP: Secret Labratory. The problem is, I want it ddos protected but I have failed many times trying to create a tunnel using cloudflare. If anyone could help me, please reach out to me. I have a domain registered on cloudflare.

I don't believe you can do what your wanting to do. Might be possible if everyone joining downloads warp to their computers and you setup some kind of private network but asking every player to download warp client before joining is asking a bit much tbh.

The Cloudflare Blog
Extending Cloudflare’s Zero Trust platform to support UDP and Int...
Last year, we launched a new feature which empowered users to begin building a private network on Cloudflare. Today, we’re excited to announce even more features which make your Zero Trust migration easier than ever.
So it is better to buy a ddos protection?
Could anyone recommend me a not so expensive game server ddos protection?
What is your budget?
and what region are you in?
Sweden, 20-30 euro or 250-500 kr
you can expose arbitrary tcp/udp with tunnels, but as frerduro mentioned your players will have to have cloudflared/warp installed on their devices
you could use spectrum to get around that, but it's gonna cost you a lot
Spectrum is minecraft and ssh only afaik
Magic transit might be what your thinking of
?
tbh for that amount of money your best bet probly is getting a VPS from a provider like OVH and tunnel the traffic to your home server. though OVH isn't that good anymore and its quite easy to take down an OVH server but your home server will still be obfuscated.
There are providers out there that give quite good SCL: SL protection but they have quite a bit of minimum commit before you can use them.
where do you get this info from?
only two options I see
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
could be wrong but yeah $1/gb is gonna eat through his 20-30 euro in under a day
non-ent is restricted to those. Ent can proxy any tcp/udp application
magic transit is also ent-only so eh
If CF would just lower the price per GB for non ent customers they would make a ton of money off spectrum
I would see the non-ent version of Spectrum only as a trial/gateway to ENT and nothing more
$1/GB is insane I can get 50TB/m from DataPacket(One of cloudflare's providers) for far less
But the minimums for being ent is already crazy
Not from what ive heard.
magic transit is 100% only custom enterprise plans, there is no pay as you go version available non-contract
magic network monitoring is a free product but not related, maybe thinking of that
yea I'm just saying Spectrum isn't something very usable on the pay as you go plan, I would consider it ent-only for production use
I know a company thats on the business plan and use magic transit
idk maybe some deal they have for a custom plan
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yea, they could have an ent contract just for Magic Transit afaik, but still a custom contract/not something self-serve
