Should i use zero trust to access my NAS?

It seems like it can do a decent job routing local traffic to it from whatever network im on and not break everything
but im still kinda confused about exactly how it works and how i connect it with a cloudflared tunnel along with the split tunneling stuff

I'd be happy to help clarify how Cloudflare Tunnel works with split tunneling.

To connect a Cloudflare Tunnel with split tunneling, you'll need to configure your Cloudflare Tunnel to route specific traffic through the tunnel while excluding other traffic. This is done using Split Tunnels.

Here's a high-level overview of the process:

Create a Cloudflare Tunnel: Set up a Cloudflare Tunnel using the
```
cloudflared
```
```
cloudflared
```
daemon. This will establish a secure connection between your infrastructure and Cloudflare.
Configure Split Tunnels: In your Cloudflare Tunnel configuration, define the Split Tunnels settings. This will determine which traffic is routed through the tunnel and which is excluded.
Route traffic through WARP: Configure your device or network to route the desired traffic through the WARP client. This will encrypt the traffic and send it through the Cloudflare Tunnel.

To configure Split Tunnels, you'll need to specify the IP addresses or subnets that you want to route through the tunnel. You can do this using the includeinclude and excludeexclude options in your Cloudflare Tunnel configuration.

For example, if you want to route all traffic from a specific subnet (e.g., 10.0.0.0/2410.0.0.0/24) through the tunnel, you would add the following configuration:

tunnel:
  ...
  splitTunnels:
    include:
      - 10.0.0.0/24

tunnel:
  ...
  splitTunnels:
    include:
      - 10.0.0.0/24

Conversely, if you want to exclude a specific subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24192.168.0.0/24) from being routed through the tunnel, you would add the following configuration:

tunnel:
  ...
  splitTunnels:
    exclude:
      - 192.168.0.0/24

tunnel:
  ...
  splitTunnels:
    exclude:
      - 192.168.0.0/24

Once you've configured Split Tunnels, you'll need to ensure that your device or network is routing the desired traffic through the WARP client. This will encrypt the traffic and send it through the Cloudflare Tunnel.

For more detailed information on configuring Split Tunnels and routing traffic through WARP, I recommend checking out the Cloudflare documentation on Split Tunnels and WARP.

If you have any further questions or need more specific guidance, feel free to ask!
