Cloudflare Access enables distributed account access control using any identity provider (IdP) and making a VPN unnecessary.
What is Cloudflare Access?
Cloudflare Access replaces Virtual Private Networks (VPN), allowing you to:
- Secure web applications and services that need to be reached over RDP or SSH
- Integrate with major identity providers (IdP), such as Google, Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, Github, Facebook, OneLogin, and more
- Create access policies using emails or groups defined in your IdP
- Revoke user sessions as needed
- Log all authentications and actions for auditing purposes
Access is powered by Cloudflare’s extensive network of data centers across the globe, offering best-in-class redundancy and DDoS protection and performance, wherever your employees or corporate office might be.
