By default this will be using SSH with password authentication and so it’s pretty important to change the default pi/raspberry combination (and to go much further and switch to using certificates).īut for the rest of this run through I am going to stick with password authentication in SSH. It’s option “P2 SSH” and when turned on will allow SSH access to the machine. The SSH server is under option “3 Interface Options”: The Pi 400 doesn’t come with the SSH server enabled, so it’s necessary to run the raspi-config program from the command line ( sudo raspi-config). Inevitably with a brand new machine there were a lot of updates to install so I let the machine run through that before logging in for the first time. It comes with the OS pre-installed on an SD card so it only took seconds to be at a welcome screen: I plugged the Pi 400 into my TV via HDMI, to the Internet via Ethernet and booted it. So… if you want to do this yourself, follow along as I take you through the steps I went through to hook a brand new Pi 400 up to Cloudflare and access it from anywhere. The Pi 400 gave me a chance to experience with Cloudflare Tunnel and Auditable Terminal. I see the emails we send out and what it’s like to navigate our UI for real use. I have a number of Cloudflare accounts that I pay for so that I see the true customer experience. There’s another reason I wanted to do this: I like to use Cloudflare’s own products. And since it’s a URL that SSH session can just be a browser bookmark! I am logging into the Pi 400 via SSH but inside the browser window just by visiting a URL in a browser and authenticating using Cloudflare for Teams. This is ideal for my use case: set up the Pi 400 on my home network, use Cloudflare Tunnel to connect it to the Cloudflare network, use Auditable Terminal to connect to the Pi 400 via Cloudflare and the tunnel using nothing more than a browser.īefore getting into the details of how I set that up, it’s worth stopping and appreciating how cool this is. And you end up with a consistent terminal experience across devices: 256 colours, Unicode support and the same fonts everywhere. And using Cloudflare Tunnel you can securely connect a computer to Cloudflare without punching holes in a firewall. You authenticate using Cloudflare Access and can log into a computer from anywhere just using the browser and get a terminal. The Pi 400 has been sitting gathering dust when Cloudflare launched Auditable Terminal giving me the perfect excuse to get out the Pi 400 and hook it up.Īuditable Terminal gives you a fully featured SSH client in your browser. It’s great that the Pi 400 comes with everything you need except for a screen: there’s the computer itself, mouse, HDMI cable and power adapter. I didn’t have time to do anything beyond plug it in and verify that it works. A few weeks ago I received a Raspberry Pi 400 as a gift.
