Summary

Clarifies that Cloudflare Tunnel public hostname routes go through Cloudflare's CDN and are subject to the Terms of Service restriction on streaming and large file traffic. Private network routes are not subject to this restriction, since that traffic never passes through the CDN.

Adds a new FAQ entry and cross-linked notes on the Tunnel routing, private networks, and Delivering Videos with Cloudflare pages so users can find the compliant path without relying on a single community forum reply.

Pull request overview

Clarifies how Cloudflare Tunnel routing choices interact with Cloudflare’s Terms of Service for streaming video and disproportionate large-file delivery, and cross-links users to compliant alternatives (Stream) or private routing options.

Changes:

  • Adds a note to Tunnel routing docs explaining that public hostname routes traverse the CDN and are subject to ToS limits, with links to compliant alternatives and private routing.
  • Adds a Tunnel-specific note to the “Delivering Videos with Cloudflare” policy page clarifying applicability to public hostnames vs private network routes.
  • Adds a new Tunnel FAQ entry covering ToS limits for large-file/streaming traffic and guidance for public vs private routing.
