Access internal applications securely

Traditional VPNs grant broad network access, create bottlenecks, and are difficult to scale. Cloudflare replaces VPNs with Zero Trust access — verifying identity and device posture on every request — using Cloudflare Tunnel, Access, and the Cloudflare One client.

Secure your organization with a cloud security platform that replaces legacy perimeters with Cloudflare's global network. Learn more about Cloudflare One.

• Zero Trust access - Verify identity and device posture on every request before granting access to internal applications
• Granular policies - Control access by user, group, device posture, and location with per-application rules

Connect infrastructure to Cloudflare without opening inbound firewall ports. Learn more about Cloudflare Tunnel.

• No network exposure - Internal apps remain private; Tunnel creates an outbound-only connection with no inbound firewall changes

Securely route traffic through Cloudflare's network. Learn more about Cloudflare One client.

• Better performance - Lower latency than traditional VPN architectures, as traffic routes through Cloudflare's global network rather than backhauling to a central data center

• Secure a private web app
• Set up clientless SSH
• Set up in-browser RDP
