### 1. Create the tunnel

1. Go to [**Zero Trust → Networks → Tunnels**](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels)
1. Go to [**Zero Trust → Networks → Connectors**](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/networks/connectors)

https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels redirects to https://dash.cloudflare.com/one/networks/tunnels, which is a broken link.

https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/networks/connectors is a smart link that redirects to the dashboard in the user's current account and to the new path where tunnels have been moved to under Connectors.

```

Get your tunnel token from the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels) → select your tunnel → **Configure** → copy the token from the install command.
Get your tunnel token from the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) → Go to [**Networking → Tunnels**] → Select your tunnel → Select **Add a replica** → Copy the install command. The token starts with `eyJ...`.

https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels is also broken. This dashboard provides a way to obtain a tunnel token from the updated https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/networks/connectors by selecting your tunnel, clicking “Add a connector,” choosing an operating system like Docker, Windows, or Mac from the pre-selected dropdown, and then copying the install command. However, this install command and the dropdown are different for each user.

What is documented here is a simpler and more consistent method with fewer steps to obtain the tunnel token.

1. Go to [**Zero Trust → Access → Applications**](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/access/apps)
2. **Add an application** → Self-hosted
3. Set the domain to `chat.your-domain.com`
1. Go to [**Zero Trust → Access controls → Applications**](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/access-controls/apps)

https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/access/apps is also broken. The "Access" dashboard has been renamed to "Access controls". Other UI elements have changed slightly, so this updates the wording.

| Add DNS | `cloudflared tunnel route dns open-webui chat.your-domain.com` |
| Install as service | `sudo cloudflared service install` |
| Dashboard | [one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/networks/tunnels) |
| Dashboard | [https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/networks/connectors](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/one/networks/connectors) |
