Advanced usage

WiFi CLI MacOS also supplies commands for enabling and disabling Argo Tunnel (cloudflared)

Argo Tunnel is a Cloudflare tool which (amongst other things) can be used to proxy DNS over SSL:

brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared

WiFi CLI MacOS makes enabling/disabling Argo Tunnel a little easier, the wifi cf on/off/r commands start/stop/restart the homebrew service and toggle your DNS servers between localhost and network defaults
