Browser-based SSH

How I open a terminal on Red October through a browser.

I wanted a way to reach the Red October terminal when I was away from home and only had a browser available. I used Cloudflare Tunnel to connect the service and Cloudflare Access to handle sign-in.

The result is a browser-based terminal I can open from my private App Launcher. I tested it over Wi-Fi and mobile data, with and without the Cloudflare One Agent running.

Getting the browser route and the login working were two separate parts of the setup. I tested the browser route first, then verified that the terminal could open a session on the server.
