Configure Cloudflare Zero Trust with Public Hostname
- Free Cloudflare accound
- Free Domain (https://nic.eu.org/)
1 Add a tunnel
2 Create a new tunnel
3 Add a Public Hosname to your Tunnel
Route traffic to your applications
Previously, from old web gui, you will need to add a route to your internal service, which is basically add public hostname to your tunnel.
Steps to Install Cloudflared in Docker
Install and run a connector - Cloudflared
Download https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-amd64.msi.
Double Click to run the installer cloudflared-windows-amd64.msi. The files will be installed under folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudflared. You will not get a prompt the Cloudflared service has been installed successfully this kind of message. As long as you confirmed file from C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudflared folder, you are good to go for next step.
Open Command Prompt or Powershell as Administrator.
Run the following command:

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount>Enable Authentication on Access to Internal Service (e.g. RDP)
With Cloudflare Zero Trust, users can connect to non-HTTP applications via a public hostname without installing the WARP client. This method requires you to onboard a domain to Cloudflare and install cloudflared on both the server and the user’s device.

" ERR failed to connect to origin error="websocket: bad handshake""
Found some solutions from online:
Try cloudflared updateand try the connection again.
- Can you check if you have “WebSockets” enabled on your Network tab of your dash.cloudflare.com 247?
- Finally I’ve been able to make it work. Thanks for your tip about the websockets disabled in Cloudflare. This is missing from the documentation/tutorial on RDP.
The other thing missing is that the config.yml file should be located at the C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.cloudflared\ folder, not in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.cloudflared\ as it is indicated in the docs.
With these two changes, everything worked as expected, finally!
Note: for me, I just need to wait a bit time to reconnect and it works again.
Set Up Google as an IdP (Identity Provider)
You can add other authentication methods such as Google, GitHub as an identity provider.
Set up Google as an identity provider
Visit the Google Cloud Platform console. Create a new project, name the project, and select Create.
On the project home page, go to APIs & Services on the sidebar and select Dashboard.
On the sidebar, go to Credentials and select Configure Consent Screen at the top of the page.
Choose
Externalas the User Type. Since this application is not being created in a Google Workspace account, any user with a Gmail address can login.Name the application, add a support email, and input contact fields. Google Cloud Platform requires an email in your account.
Return to the APIs & Services page, select Create Credentials > OAuth client ID, and name the application.
Under Authorized JavaScript origins, in the URIs field, enter your team domain.
Under Authorized redirect URIs, in the URIs field, enter your team domain followed by this callback at the end of the path:
/cdn-cgi/access/callback. For example:https://<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/callbackGoogle will present the OAuth Client ID and Secret values. The secret field functions like a password and should not be shared. Copy both values.
In Zero Trust, go to Settings > Authentication.
Under Login methods, select Add new. Choose Google on the next page.

Select Save.
Windows Install Cloudflared using Powershell
Install WinGet on Windows Sandbox (Optional)
Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine. Windows Sandbox does not include WinGet, nor the Microsoft Store app, so you will need to download the latest WinGet package from the WinGet releases page on GitHub.
To install the stable release of WinGet on Windows Sandbox, follow these steps from a Windows PowerShell command prompt:
$progressPreference = 'silentlyContinue'
Write-Information "Downloading WinGet and its dependencies..."

Download and install (Optional) cloudflared
Download and install cloudflared via winget ↗:
winget install --id Cloudflare.cloudflaredAlternatively, download the latest release directly from https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/downloads/

cloudflared access rdp --hostname rdp.example.com --url rdp://localhost:3389This process will need to be configured to stay alive and autostart. If the process is killed, users will not be able to connect.
- cloudflared access rdp --hostname rdp.example.com --url rdp://localhost:3390
Connect to RDP server from Client Machine's RDP Client
cloudflared access is running, connect from an RDP client such as Microsoft Remote Desktop:- Open Microsoft Remote Desktop and select Add a PC.
- For PC name, enter
localhost:3390. - For User account, enter your RDP server username and password.
- Double-click the newly added PC.
- When asked if you want to continue, select Continue.
When the client launches, a browser window will open and prompt the user to authenticate themselves.
