The path to get to the Tunnels area shown in the video is now as follows: - Log into your account. - Look for "Zero Trust" in the left column. - Click "Zero Trust". - That will take you to a different page. - Look for "Access" in the left column. - Click "Access". - Then you will see "Tunnels". /=========================================/ Getting started with Cloudflare can be a bit overwhelming when you're first getting started with self-hosting.
