Compare Cloudflare Tunnel vs. remote.it

Once an application is launched, developers and IT teams often find themselves preoccupied with securing it through measures such as configuring access control lists, changing IP addresses, and implementing cumbersome solutions like GRE tunnels. However, there exists a more straightforward and robust method for safeguarding your applications and web servers against direct threats: Cloudflare Tunnel. This solution ensures the protection of your server regardless of its hosting environment—be it a public cloud, private cloud, a Kubernetes cluster, or even a Mac mini positioned beneath your television. Cloudflare Tunnel serves as tunneling software that enables swift security and encryption of application traffic across diverse infrastructures, effectively concealing your web server's IP addresses, thwarting direct assaults, and allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional applications. By utilizing the Tunnel daemon, an encrypted connection is established between your origin web server and the closest Cloudflare data center, all without the need to open any public inbound ports. This way, your applications can thrive in a secure environment while you maintain peace of mind.

Ensure protected access to both your cloud resources and local area network devices. Facilitate connections to cloud services within your exclusive virtual private cloud (VPC), as well as to IoT and IIoT devices deployed in various locations. Remove open ports to minimize the primary internet attack surface associated with your VPCs and network assets. Grant access to cloud users without relying on IP whitelisting, thereby enhancing security. Oversee and manage IoT devices and connected assets on isolated private networks effectively. Establish secure, private device networks that feature zero attack surfaces to protect your data. This solution is particularly effective in global environments where IP addresses are scarce, including those utilizing mobile networks with carrier-grade NAT (CG-NAT). It is designed to be user-friendly and scalable, allowing for straightforward installation and operation across one or many devices. Experience rapid and direct connectivity when rolling out devices for edge computing, IoT applications, or machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The system supports both one-to-one and one-to-many connections, simplifying the maintenance, configuration, and operational processes for your devices. Create secure, direct communication pathways between your devices and private remote.it networks, eliminating the necessity for a unique global IP address for every individual device, thus optimizing your network efficiency. This approach not only enhances security but also streamlines device management across diverse applications.
