I wanted an easier way to manage Cloudflare Zero Trust (esp the Mesh stuff), so I made one

I used to use Tailscale for my homelab, but eventually moved everything to Cloudflare Zero Trust for ~1.5 years. It works pretty well, but I really missed their MagicDNS.

Having to open the dashboard just to find a device IP is kinda sucks. Initially, I made a tiny script that automatically gave every device a name like {hostname}.mesh.

But then, I got tired of "always-changing" Cloudflare dashboard whenever I needed to manage a node, tunnel, or split tunnel setting. So that small script slowly turned into meshflare project.

Right now it can:

• Show Mesh nodes and devices in one place
• Automatically create .mesh names for them
• Manage Cloudflare Tunnels
• Manage WARP routes and split tunnels
• Turn Cloudflare Gateway into a small Pi-hole-like blocker using a public blocklist (I use small.oisd.nl)

The last one is quite cool (thanks to this project for the idea) because I don't need to run my own private DNS server or configure custom DoH/DoT just to have simple adblocking stuff.

The app uses Cloudflare stack (Workers + D1), so no VPS needed. It can also run with Docker or Bun if you prefer that.

It's still a young project, but I've been using it every day for my own homelab. Would love to hear what you think.
