Cipher suites
Cloudflare Tunnel connections use the cipher suites supported by cloudflared, which relies on the Go TLS library for its TLS implementation. These cipher suites apply to both the TLS connection between Cloudflare's network and cloudflared, and the HTTPS connection between cloudflared and your origin. In both cases, cloudflared negotiates the most secure cipher suite supported by both sides.
The following table lists the cipher suites supported by cloudflared:
| Protocol support | Cipher suites |
|---|---|
| TLS 1.3 only | TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 |
| TLS 1.2 only | TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 |
| Up to and including TLS 1.2 | TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA |
