Cloudflare Tunnels offer a cost-effective and secure way to deploy a 19squared instance. With this method, you simply run a server on your local machine (any laptop or PC). Then, a tunnel is established, allowing any internet-connected user to access the server running on your device. In this secure setup, your service communicates with a Cloudflare server, so users do not access the local machine directly.

**Prerequisites:**
1. Top-Level Domain: The domain's registration location is irrelevant. However, it will require configuration changes so that Cloudflare manages its DNS requests. This domain can also support other services after that. Domains are affordable, even as low as ~$5 per year on [Cloudflare Registrar](https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/products/registrar/).

2. Reasonably Modern Laptop or PC: No need for top-of-the-line hardware, just acceptable performance. If your device isn't ancient, it should suffice for small user groups.
