Your load balancer should be receiving production traffic (and you can confirm this by reviewing the analytics).

Though your product is officially set up, you may want to consider the following suggestions.

​​ Usage-based notifications

Since this is a service with usage-based billing, Cloudflare recommends that you set up usage-based billing notifications to avoid unexpected bills.

To set up those notifications:

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard Open external link .

2. Select your account.

3. Go to Notifications.

4. On Alert Type of Usage Based Billing, click Select.

5. Fill out the following information:

   • Name
   • Product
   • Notification limit (exact metric will vary based on product)
   • Notification email

6. Select Save.

• Cloudflare Tunnel
