What is Cloudflare Access?

Cloudflare Access is a zero trust network access (ZTNA) product, part of the Cloudflare Zero Trust platform. Instead of handing out VPN credentials, Access puts Cloudflare's global network in front of your internal apps and SSH/RDP hosts, enforcing identity-aware policies on every request. It brokers authentication to your existing identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, etc.) rather than replacing it, which keeps deployment lightweight.

Best for: Teams replacing a VPN with zero trust access to internal apps

Pros

  • Replaces VPN with simpler identity-based access
  • Works with your existing identity provider (doesn't replace it)
  • Generous free tier up to 50 users
  • Cloudflare's global network means low-latency access anywhere

Things to check

  • Not a full IAM platform; you still need an identity provider
  • Best experience requires the Warp client on devices
  • Less mature than legacy ZTNA vendors for some enterprise features
  • Pricing tiers bundle features you may not need
