Cloudflare Tunnel creates an outbound-only connection, eliminating the need to open inbound ports, reducing attack surface. It also leverages Cloudflare's CDN, DDoS protection, and WAF. LoadBalancers expose the Kubernetes cluster directly to the internet, potentially increasing security risks and bypassing Cloudflare's benefits.
