Is that part of Cloudflare Teams? No offense to Cloudflare, but their pricing is really unclear. I have an account and I use them for a lot, but they have 3 different "plans" and then they have various ad-hoc products. Tunnel just says "view in dashboard." [0] If I click on that link while logged in, I'm taken to my dashboard with no indication of how to use Tunnel or anything. The plans page [1] indicates that it's part of argo smart routing. If I click on "activate argo" it actually does the exact same thing as the teams "view in dashboard" button -- it redirects me to the dashboard and has no indication of being activated or anything. Really frustrating.

It's confusing for me too

product page says it requires paid Argo (smart routing) subscription https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/tunnel/

the blog page says its free https://blog.cloudflare.com/tunnel-for-everyone/

and actually you can install and run it quite easily

   brew uninstall cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared
   cloudflared login
   cloudflared tunnel
this will launch a tunnel with a random subdomain listening to http://localhost:8080


It became free recently, so they've probably just forgotten to update their documentation which seems to be a pattern with CF.
