Description

Would love to see integration for the ESPhome project and ESP32 to support the possiblity to connect to a cloudflared tunnel. Not sure how possible this is to achieve, but I have a use case scenario where I want to use a ESP32 to connect and send MQTT over WAN on a different network / 4G, but cannot open port due to CGNat.

Allowing ESPhome to connect the ESP to a cloudflared tunnel would be pretty awesome!

Research direction

Start by investigating how the ESPHome project and ESP32 handle MQTT connections over WAN, then determine whether Cloudflare Tunnel can support this use case across CGNAT. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; done would require an agreed implementation scope and a working, tested tunnel integration.
