    Cloudflare doesn&#x27;t really seem to care about their tunnel product. &quot;cloudflared service install broken on macOS&quot; since 2021: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cloudflare&#x2F;cloudflared&#x2F;issues&#x2F;327" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cloudflare&#x2F;cloudflared&#x2F;issues&#x2F;327

      Huh I brew installed it and got a working tunnel in like 15 seconds.

        Install via brew worked. Getting the hostname to resolve took 30 mins of waiting. Have they heard of wildcard DNS?

          Cloudflare isn&#x27;t going to wildcard every domain on their platform just to cure stale cache DNS issues.

            That wasn’t the ask though.

            The product is falsely advertised as is:

            &quot;Cloudflare Quick Tunnels&quot;

            This is on one (or two) particular domain(s) where setting up wildcard DNS should be relatively trivial, if they actually cared enough about the UX of this product to make a special case in their code.

            I don&#x27;t understand how people can launch stuff like this.

              I don’t understand what you are complaining about. Do you think there is an actual bug?
