Hello again everyone

Please let me know if my posting here is becoming too regular

I tried out the options suggested by you in the last post. I actually got it working which was a really exciting moment for me. I got home from work and starting trying to set up an authentication that only allows my email to get through and ended up getting a Error 1033, i tried to change DNS settings and then got Error 1016.

I tried restarting my browser, restarting my cloudflared instance on my machine but nothing worked at all.

In short, im very lost. Ive tried following along with afew youtube tutorials but it hasnt really worked. Feeling very defeated, this is way above my knowledge level, but hey, i guess everything ive learnt on this selfhosting journey was once way above my knowledge level so theres always time to learn.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be appriciated

I also had a question, do you create a new tunnel for each application? Or do you just use a separate route and have them all on the same tunnel?

If it helps, you can think of the cloudflare tunnel as analogous to a VPN. You don't need separate tunnels unless the services involved can't communicate with each other; if they can route to each other already, they should all be discoverable from the tunnel.

It sounds like 1016 and 1033 are both DNS errors, or other connectivity. Your tunnel was up before; it sounds like restricting to just email night have blocked something it shouldn't. How did you block it? Cloudflared needs specific ports open, so if you blocked ports, that might be the issue
