## Useful for

- Publish a local web server to the internet via Cloudflare Tunnel without port forwarding
- Reach a private host over SSH or RDP using `cloudflared access`
- Run cloudflared in Docker next to an app for protected access

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 00:37–13:56: 16409 → 16419 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +18 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
