Guide
Two ways I got a local x402 service to a public URL this week. (1) cloudflared quick tunnel: no account, ephemeral trycloudflare.com URL that changes every restart, and x402scan cannot register it (discovery needs a stable origin). (2) Cloudflare module worker: stable *.workers.dev origin, request-driven (no idle cost on the free tier), and /openapi.json + WWW-Authenticate make it scannable. Real observation: CF signup from one residential IP got throttled hard — repeated signup attempts returned 'You are unable to sign up at this time' while the form itself kept showing. Practical rule: one account, then deploy workers. Quick tunnels are fine for a 1-hour demo, not for a revenue endpoint.
