Cloudflare Gateway Management

Companion Portal provides a managed Cloudflare Gateway for securely exposing your apps to the internet — no port forwarding, no DNS configuration, no hassle.

How It Works

When you pair your Hub with Companion Portal and enable the Cloudflare Gateway:

1. A Cloudflare Tunnel is automatically created for your Hub
2. Apps you choose to expose get a secure public URL
3. All traffic is encrypted end-to-end through Cloudflare’s network
4. No ports need to be opened on your router

Enabling the Gateway

In Companion Portal, navigate to your paired device and click Enable Gateway. The tunnel will be provisioned automatically.

Exposing Apps

Once the Gateway is active, you can expose individual apps from either:

• Companion Portal interface (remotely)
• Your Hub dashboard (locally)

Each exposed app receives a subdomain under your configured domain.
