alt Hacker NewsCloudflare Quick Tunnels have existed for more than 5 years (yes, including the anonymous quick tunnels). I copy-pasted the url of the HN link in archive.org, see for yourself: https://web.archive.org/web/20211202005430/http://try.cloudf...
Is a new vibe-coded landing page for a 5-year old product really worthy of being on the front page nowadays? There should at least be a [2021] in the title.

I saw the post and was literally thinking "I have been using these tunnels extensively for a couple years now"
Didn't these used to be called Argo Tunnels a long time ago? I think Argo Tunnels got repositioned for connecting to origin servers without needing an incoming connection to the origin but I thought they originally did something like this/ngrok
Yeah, I just checked the page >can connect their server to the Internet with Argo Tunnel for free
5 years ago imo it was less relevant, if you showed me this then I would be like "cool tech, but other then a specific scenario, why would I care"
I did not know about them and I have a good use for them today. So I found it useful though I agree it needs the date disclaimer
