Free VPN over domain name, smooth 4K on YouTube

I previously bought a VPS from RD for $22/year with 3TB monthly traffic, which I thought was a good deal.

Then I found this on GitHub – it lets you build a free VPN node based on Cloudflare (CF) with just a domain name.

Features: free, long-term availability, stable, fast

Tested YouTube 4K without any issues, even on a mobile hotspot. On a home broadband it would be even smoother.

This is the most powerful Edgetunnel solution claimed to combine the best of many approaches!

I bought a top-level domain on CF for $5/year, subscribed to the free hosting plan, and set up auto-renewal for the domain – pretty hassle-free. Below is the setup method if you already have a CF domain:

1. First, the GitHub link is here

Download this zip archive – you’ll need it later

2. In Cloudflare, go to Settings → Create KV namespace, name it whatever you like

Almost all operations below are done on this site – Cloudflare, link is here. You can also buy domains here. I’ll skip the domain purchase steps, it’s simple – you can figure it out.

Once the KV namespace is created, don’t touch anything yet.

4. After deployment, go into the created Pages project and set the admin password

1. Type: Text / Name: ADMIN / Value: (choose your own password)

2. KV Namespace → Variable: KV / KV Namespace: (select the KV namespace you created in step 2 from the dropdown)
   Save. Done.

   Save. Done.

5. Bind your domain (can be a subdomain like www.yoursite.com) in Pages

After entering the domain, click Continue, then Activate Domain. If you bought the domain on CF, DNS settings will be configured automatically.

Just double-check – the domain is bound to the Pages domain via a CNAME record. If the domain wasn’t bought on CF, you might need to add it manually.

After activation, wait about 5–10 seconds for it to turn green – that means it’s ready.

6. OK, that’s it – all done!

On the deployment page you’ll see two domain names. Add /admin to either to access your node subscription panel.

Enter the password you set to log in.

Simply copy the subscription link you need and import it into Clash or V2Ray.
