Doctor checks

Every problem the Doctor looks for, what it means and how to fix it.

The Doctor (⌘7) checks cloudflared, your accounts, domains, DNS records and connectors, every few minutes and whenever you ask. Each problem comes with a fix or clear guidance. Fixes that change Cloudflare are previewed like any other change; Fix Safe Issues applies the ones that only touch what Teitunnel created. Ignore hides a problem (and its notifications) until you bring it back.

Each problem's check id (in code type) appears in diagnostics exports and bug reports.

cloudflared

ProblemWhat to do
cloudflared isn't installed binary.missingInstall the verified managed copy. Routes and Quick Shares need it.
cloudflared is too old binary.unsupportedInstall the managed copy to update. Some features need a newer version.

Accounts and domains

ProblemWhat to do
Couldn't check an account account.unreachableUsually a network problem. If the token was revoked or expired, reconnect the account.
This account's token can't manage routes auth.missing_scopeCreate a token with Cloudflare Tunnel · Edit and DNS · Edit and connect it again.
A domain is waiting for its nameservers zone.pendingRoutes on it won't work until your registrar uses Cloudflare's nameservers.

Routes and DNS

ProblemWhat to do
A hostname has no DNS record dns.missingThe tunnel serves it but nothing points at the tunnel. Fix adds the record.
A hostname isn't proxied dns.not_proxiedTunnel hostnames only work with the orange cloud on. Fix turns it on.
A hostname points at another tunnel dns.wrong_targetRequests don't reach this machine. Fix points it at this machine's tunnel.
Another record answers for a hostname dns.conflictAnother record takes the traffic. Fix replaces it, after you confirm.
A record points at this machine's tunnel but has no route dns.orphan_owned / dns.orphan_foreignVisitors get a 404. Delete the record, or add a route for it.
A record points at a tunnel that no longer exists dns.orphan_owned / dns.orphan_foreignVisitors see a Cloudflare error. Delete the record, or route it to a tunnel.
Nothing is listening on a route's port origin.not_listeningStart the app the route sends traffic to.
An HTTPS origin's certificate isn't trusted origin.tlsUse http:// for a local origin, or a certificate this machine trusts.
A login is left without its route access.orphanTeitunnel added a login for a route that was removed elsewhere. Fix Safe Issues removes it (only logins Teitunnel created).
This machine's routes were changed outside Teitunnel config.driftKeep the changes, or restore what Teitunnel set up.

_owned means Teitunnel created the record, so Fix Safe Issues may delete it; _foreign records are only deleted after you confirm.

Connectors

ProblemWhat to do
This machine's connector isn't running tunnel.no_connectionsIts routes don't answer until it runs. Start it.
This machine's connector keeps stopping tunnel.crash_loopIts log says why. Starting it again retries.
This machine's connector lost its connection tunnel.degradedIt reconnects on its own; check the network if it persists.
Cloudflare still lists connections for this machine's tunnel tunnel.stale_connectionsLeft over from a connector that went away, or another machine runs the tunnel with its token. Clean them up if nothing else should.
Another machine also runs this machine's tunnel tunnel.other_connectorsSome visitors reach that machine instead of this machine. Stop cloudflared there; its logs in Tunnels help find it.
Another cloudflared on this machine runs this machine's tunnel tunnel.duplicate_localStop the other one from Tunnels.
cloudflared is running outside Teitunnel tunnel.foreign_runningFor your information: another cloudflared process on this machine.
This machine's tunnel has no routes tunnel.unused_ownedKept so adding a route is quick. Delete it if you don't need it.

Private networks

ProblemWhat to do
WARP clients don't send a range to this machine network.excludedThe default device profile's Split Tunnels exclude it. Remove or narrow that entry in the Zero Trust dashboard.
WARP clients don't send a range to this machine network.not_includedSplit Tunnels are in include mode and don't list the range. Add it in the Zero Trust dashboard.
WARP clients can't reach private networks network.proxy_offTurn on the Gateway proxy (TCP, and UDP if needed) in the Zero Trust dashboard.

Network and system

ProblemWhat to do
This network seems to block QUIC (UDP) net.udp_blockedcloudflared falls back to HTTP/2. If connections keep dropping, allow UDP port 7844.
This machine's clock may be wrong net.clock_skewTurn on automatic date and time in your system settings.

Diagnostics

Help ▸ Export Diagnostics… saves a file to attach to a bug report: app logs, the Doctor report and versions. Tokens, keys and passwords are removed; hostnames and account ids stay so the problem can be understood. You see what's in it before it's saved.

Tick Include cloudflared's own report to add cloudflared tunnel diag for this machine's connector: its logs, metrics, system details and traceroutes to Cloudflare. It takes up to two minutes, and Teitunnel can't redact it, so look through it before you share it. Cloudflare support often asks for this file.
