Cloud Link is more than a tunnel. Use this page to find the guide for the
outcome you need.

## Connect and secure

- **[Pairing with approval](/docs/pairing/)** — scan a single-use QR code and
  approve the device on the machine before the tunnel starts.
- **[Per-device credentials](/docs/security/)** — each phone receives a signed,
  machine-scoped credential with an expiry.
- **[Remote browser access](/docs/browser-access/)** — give a browser its own
  username and password, separate from the phone.
- **[Stable address](/docs/introduction/)** — keep one opaque hostname across
  re-pairs, restarts, and upgrades.
- **[Supervised reconnects](/docs/user-manual/)** — survive logins, reboots, and
  network changes with capped retries and a visible Retry action.

## Work from the desktop app

- **[Tray and menu-bar controls](/docs/user-manual/)** — see OpenCode, Tunnel,
  Proxy, and Keep awake status at a glance.
- **[OpenCode web UI window](/docs/user-manual/)** — open the managed server in
  its own window without a separate browser login.
- **[Global OpenCode configuration](/docs/opencode-configuration/)** — edit
  MCP servers, language servers, plugins, or raw JSON with validated saves.
- **[Start at login](/docs/settings/)** — launch the connector quietly when you
  sign in.
- **[Keep awake](/docs/settings/)** — prevent idle sleep while agents run or a
  device is connected.

## Publish local services

- **[Exposed services](/docs/exposed-services/)** — publish a loopback dev
  server, API, or dashboard through the same tunnel.
- **Private by default** — require a Cloud Link credential unless you
  explicitly mark a service public.
- **Separate origin** — services use their own port and origin, so OpenCode
  paths and credentials are not mixed with them.
- **Live changes** — add, edit, enable, or disable a service without restarting
  the tunnel.

## Run headless

- **[Linux archive](/docs/install/linux/)** — x64 and ARM64, with no GUI
  runtime.
- **[CLI reference](/docs/cli/)** — foreground execution, service mode,
  environment variables, and service management.
- **[systemd user service](/docs/install/linux/)** — optional, opt-in, and
  restart-bounded.

## Account and reference

- **[Subscription and billing](/docs/subscription/)** — subscribe, restore,
  cancel, and understand expiry.
- **[Security and privacy](/docs/security/)** — what the control plane sees and
  what stays local.
- **[Releases and updates](/docs/releases/)** — current downloads and update
  behavior.
- **[Troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting/)** — fix pairing, connection,
  service, and platform problems.
