They do allow ssh via a web browser. It may be a "beta" feature, but it doesn't require the client to run anything.

Requires your client to run a web browser though? That's a lot different from just an ssh client?

Not a web browser, the client has to install cloudflared to connect. It's pretty much exactly the Tailscale feature, but clunkier.

GP was saying the client would require a web browser. The server of course needs cloudflared.

That said, personally I don't really have any devices that can use SSH but not a browser.

My past comment is wrong but you do need to install cloudflared on the client if you want to SSH without a browser.

Read the docs, you can do it either way.

I found it easier to use ssh over websocat over cloudflared. Then you just need websocat again on clientside and can use regular ssh client with it

No headless boxes?

Just seeing this. Yeah, you're technically right. But I never sit at my headless boxes. I SSH to them and then from there could SSH Jump if I really needed to use SSH out of those boxes.

Also I wouldn't use Cloudflare Tunnels so this is a moot point.
