While the installation is complete, accessing the Proxmox dashboard usually involves opening port <code>8006</code> to the public internet or using a VPN. A more modern and secure approach is to use <strong>Cloudflare Tunnels (Cloudflared)</strong>. This allows you to access your dashboard via a nice hostname (e.g., <code>proxmox.yourdomain.com</code>) without opening any inbound ports on your server.</p> <h2 class="relative group">Why Cloudflare Tunnels? <div id="why-cloudflare-tunnels" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#why-cloudflare-tunnels" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <ol> <li><strong>No Inbound Ports</strong>: You can keep your firewall completely closed to the public internet.</li> <li><strong>Identity-Based Access</strong>: You can add Cloudflare Access rules (SSO, 2FA) in front of your Proxmox login.</li> <li><strong>Automated SSL</strong>: Cloudflare handles the SSL/TLS certificates automatically.</li> </ol> <h2 class="relative group">1.
