Learn how to download and run the Sauce Connect proxy software so that you can create a secure tunnely for testing apps that require one. Download the `sc` file, and use a few simple terminal commands to run it on your machine, see how to change the tunnel id to run on different tunnels, and how to run your test on a shared tunnel so that you can use saucectl to run tests against an app in a protected environment.

Run a Cypress Test with Sauce Connect

Once you have a Sauce Connect proxy tunnel up and running, learn how to run your test on a shared tunnel. See how you can run this test in different Sauce Connect tunnels with Cypress on Sauce by simple changing you tunnel-id. See a demonstartion of both options you have for running the test in the 'sauce' test environment (on the Sauce Labs Cloud of virtual machines), by updating config.yml, or using a --tunnel-id flag in SauceCTL when you run your test.
