After successful login to the cpolar web UI interface, you will automatically be redirected to the dashboard interface. Here we can create tunnels, edit tunnels, view tunnel information, view the generated public network address, view system status and other information.
cpolar will install two sample tunnels by default, which can be used directly, or edited or deleted:
- One is the Website tunnel pointing to http 8080 port
- One is an ssh tunnel, pointing to tcp port 22 (if it is a windows system, it is a remoteDesktop tunnel, pointing to tcp port 3389)

- An https protocol address (save the tedious steps of applying/configuring a certificate)
Through the above steps, other users can access the public network address through an Internet browser.
