Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/http-status-codes/cloudflare-1xxx-errors/error-1033/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

## Error 1033: Cloudflare Tunnel error

This error indicates an issue with [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/).

### Common cause

You have requested a page on a website (`tunnel.example.com`) that is on the Cloudflare network. The host (`tunnel.example.com`) is configured with Cloudflare Tunnel, and Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve it.

### Resolution

A `1033` error indicates your tunnel is not connected to Cloudflare's network because Cloudflare's network cannot find a healthy `cloudflared` instance to receive the traffic.

First, review whether your tunnel is listed as `Active` in the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) by going to **Networking** \> **Tunnels** or run `cloudflared tunnel list`. If the tunnel is not `Active`, review the following and take the action necessary for your tunnel status:

| **Healthy**  | The tunnel is active and serving traffic through four connections to the Cloudflare global network.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          | No action is required. Your tunnel is running correctly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Inactive** | The tunnel has been created (via the API or dashboard) but the cloudflared connector has never been run to establish a connection.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | Install and run cloudflared on your origin server to connect the tunnel to Cloudflare. You can find the installation command in the Cloudflare dashboard under **Networking** \> **Tunnels** — select your tunnel, then on the **Overview** tab select **Add a replica**. For API-based setup, refer to [Install and run the tunnel](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/get-started/create-remote-tunnel-api/#4-install-and-run-the-tunnel).                           |
| **Down**     | The tunnel was previously connected but is currently disconnected because the cloudflared process has stopped.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               | 1\. Ensure the cloudflared [service](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/do-more-with-tunnels/local-management/as-a-service/) or process is actively running on your server.  2\. Check for server-side issues, such as the machine being powered off, an application crash, or recent network changes.                                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Degraded** | The cloudflared connector is running and the tunnel is serving traffic, but at least one individual connection has failed. Further degradation in [tunnel availability](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/configure-tunnels/tunnel-availability/) could risk the tunnel going down and failing to serve traffic. | 1\. Review your cloudflared [logs](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/monitor-tunnels/logs/) for connection failures or error messages.  2\. Investigate local network and firewall rules to ensure they are not blocking connections to the [Cloudflare Tunnel IPs and ports](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/configure-tunnels/tunnel-with-firewall/). |
