DIFF --SIDE-BY-SIDE
PanicTunnl vs Cloudflare Tunnel
Cloudflare Tunnel is powerful, but it requires a Cloudflare account, a registered domain, YAML config files, and the cloudflared CLI. PanicTunnl needs zero config: one SSH command, instant public URL.
High setup complexity; requires Cloudflare account and domain.
