Known Issues

Cloudflare Tunnel Startup Issue on Apple Silicon Machines

When attempting to start a Cloudflare tunnel using the fdk tunnel or fdk ext preview commands, users on Apple Silicon machines may encounter difficulties due to the Cloudflare binary's compatibility requirements.

Solution: Install Rosetta, which allows you to run applications that contain x86_64 instructions on Apple Silicon. You can do this by executing the following command in your terminal:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

This command prompts your system to install Rosetta, resolving the compatibility issue and allowing the Cloudflare tunnel to run smoothly on your machine.
