Technical Architecture

The application leverages Tauri v2 to provide a lightweight security-first alternative to Electron. It uses a bridge between a high-performance Rust backend and a modern Vanilla JS frontend.

Why Rust & Tauri?

• Security: Rust's memory safety prevents common vulnerabilities.
• Performance: Near-native speed with minimal RAM footprint (approx. 50-80MB).
• Size: Final binary is ~10-15x smaller than equivalent Electron apps.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (v18+)
• Rust (latest stable)
• WebView2 (Included in Windows 10/11)

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/maskodingku/Tunnel-Cloudflared-Desktop.git
cd Tunnel-Cloudflared-Desktop

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Run in Development Mode

npm run tauri dev

4. Build Productive Binary

npm run tauri build

Security & Audit Focus

This project is designed with transparency and security in mind:

• Zero-Trust: No tokens are stored in plain text; ingress rules are managed via secure local YAML.
• Local First: Your data stays on your machine. API calls are made directly to Cloudflare.
• Audit Tip: Check src-tauri/src/accounts.rs to see how we securely handle Cloudflare API interactions using local credential parsing.

Important

Your cert.pem and app_config.json are automatically ignored by .gitignore to prevent accidental credential leaks.
