Public Tunnels & Webhooks

Expose local sites to the internet via Cloudflare Tunnels for client demos and Stripe/Shopify webhook testing.

Cloudflare Tunnel Integration

Stratos bundles cloudflared to generate instant HTTPS public tunnels without exposing your router or editing firewall rules.

Free vs. Pro Tunnel Options

  • 🆓 Stratos Free: Generates instant temporary tunnel sessions with random URLs (e.g. https://a9f3b.trycloudflare.com).
  • 💎 Stratos Pro: Unlocks Fixed Branded Subdomains (e.g. https://myproject.stratosapp.dev). Persistent subdomains are essential for testing webhooks from Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, and Twilio.

Launching a Tunnel

  1. Select your site in the Stratos main split view.
  2. Click Start Cloudflare Tunnel.
  3. Copy the public HTTPS URL to share with clients or paste into your Stripe Developer Webhook dashboard.
