Cloudflare tunnel not working with LXDE

[pentium423]

Hi guys, I’m new to Cloudflare and Linux.

I tried using Cloudflare tunnel to remote access my Virtualbox running Debian 12.

However, I have the following issue when running it on LXDE.

When I run the docker code as shown in the Cloudflare screen [docker run -d --name cloudflared cloudflare/cloudflared:latest tunnel --no-autoupdate run --token]. I will lose my internet connection when the daemon starts.

After which, I tried to troubleshoot and test it on KDE Plasma.

I did 2 fresh install on my VirtualBox. One on KDE plasma and the other on LXDE. And I did exactly the same steps. Installing docker and then setting up the Cloudflare tunnel. The one on KDE plasma runs without any issues at all and I’m able to remote access it via the cloudflare tunnel. But the one with LXDE again loses connection once I start the docker run [docker run -d --name cloudflared cloudflare/cloudflared:latest tunnel --no-autoupdate run --token]

Anyone can help or with similar experience? I want to be using LXDE instead of KDE plasma

One possible solution is to disable the network manager on LXDE and use a static IP address instead. You can follow these steps:
Edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and add these lines:

Code: Select all

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100 # change this to your desired IP address
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1 # change this to your router's IP address
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 # use Cloudflare and Google DNS servers

Save the file and restart the network service:

Code: Select all

sudo service networking restart

Disable the network manager:

Code: Select all

sudo service network-manager stop
sudo update-rc.d network-manager disable

Restart your system and try running the Cloudflare tunnel again. Hope it can help.

Make sure that your system's firewall or security software is not blocking the necessary connections for Cloudflare Tunnel. You may need to configure your firewall to allow the Tunnel connections. Watermelon Game

Ensure that your LXDE system has a stable internet connection before starting the Cloudflare Tunnel. You can try to ping external servers or websites to verify connectivity.

Cloudflare Tunnel might be conflicting with your network manager or firewall rules on LXDE. I recommend checking and adjusting these configurations, and also test with a different desktop environment or network interface. Slope Game

This mode allows the container to use the host’s network stack directly, potentially avoiding the conflict that’s causing your connection loss.

One thing you could try is checking the network settings on LXDE to see if there are any conflicts when the daemon startstime calculator.

You can try running the Cloudflare tunnel as a root user to see if there are permission-related issues that might be affecting your network connection when starting the Docker container.hollow knight
