502 Bad Gateway Error: What It Is and How to Fix It

The tunnel can't reach your configured origin/url. Its logs should reveal a bit more. If you're runnning it from CLI, you should be able to just see the output. If you're running it as a systemd service, ex
journalctl -u cloudflared -f --lines=100I'm really stupid being honest and am very confused what you just said haha. I am using wsl to recieve output but idk what you mean by logs, please explain a bit more.
No worries, You're just manually running cloudflared in wsl? It should output an error when you try to connect, something like "Can't connect to/dial origin service", that would give a bit more information
for some reason it doesn't output anything, it used to work just fine when i disabled/enabled hyper v (I forgot what it was) to play bloons td 6 it all stopped working, i factory reset my PC after trying to fix it with no luck. Do you this this has anything to do with it?
if you reset everything it certainly could. The tunnel just connects to a web server/url you configured it to, it's a reverse proxy (like how doordash brings you food but doesn't make it for you). I would check if you can reach the service you configured cloudflared to connect to, locally
I am still not able to connect, what else do you think I should try
What is the tunnel configured to connect to/proxy?
I'm so confused sorry
What are you using the tunnel for?
to connect my wsl to the website so i recieve everything, it's like a forms website and I recieve all the info
What is "the website"? I assume it's nginx/apache you run locally? If so, test connecting to that locally
hi i'm back
so
by locally I assume you mean connecting on my current wifi?
https://attack-tba-sole-bin.trycloudflare.com/
tell me what happens when you go there maybe
It's saying cloudflared can't connect to the url you configured it to. I would check if you can reach it locally
explain locally please
without vpn?
that's what I'm doing
When you configured cloudflared, you configured it to connect back to a web server/service/url. If you're using quick tunnels it's whatever you put after --url
instead of connecting to the tunnel, try connecting to that web server/url directly, on the same network or machine as it
omg i'm stupid ty for explanation
it did not work
if you can't connect directly to the web server/url you configured cloudflared to connect to, that is the root of the issue. You'll have to restore/fix that before cloudflared can proxy requests to it
