Description

Implementing a default-deny, Zero Trust policy for users accessing applications across any on-premises private network, public cloud, or SaaS setting enhances security. This approach connects users more efficiently and securely than traditional VPNs while offering seamless integration with your existing identity providers and endpoint protection solutions. You can try our Free plan indefinitely for up to 50 users, allowing for specific application access control that prevents lateral movement. Users can easily access the resources they require while being restricted from those they should not reach. Cloudflare remains neutral regarding identity and application types, ensuring the safety of any application, whether SaaS, cloud-based, or on-premises, through your chosen identity provider. Furthermore, prior to access approval, it assesses device posture by checking signals such as Gateway client presence, serial numbers, and mTLS certificates, guaranteeing that only recognized and secure devices can connect to your vital resources. This comprehensive security framework not only streamlines connectivity but also fortifies your organization's defenses against unauthorized access.

Description

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution you deploy into your own environment — on-prem or your AWS, Azure, or GCP account — so tunnel traffic and configuration never touch a third-party network. Access is enforced by application, not IP or subnet: each user reaches only the app they're entitled to, identified by domain name, with no visibility into anything else. That structurally blocks lateral movement — there's no connectivity path for a breach to exploit. With Access Server Link, deployment is a guided setup (hostname, cloud, region, password) with SSL certificates auto-provisioned and renewed, removing manual cert management as an attack surface. Entitlements tie to hostname, so they survive IP changes and autoscaling without rework. Your instance stays fully under your control, preserving the data ownership and audit posture required for HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR — full sovereignty over the control plane, with SaaS-level simplicity. The admin portal replaces SSH-based management: users, certificates, and access policies are configured through a browser, so shell access isn't required, shrinking your attack surface. The Zero Trust App Broker mediates every connection through a placeholder IP scoped to one authorized application — users never learn the real destination, so a compromised credential can't be used to probe or discover other systems. This enforces least privilege by design, not just by policy that can drift or be misconfigured. Client apps span Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, so identity- and application-based controls apply consistently across devices. Deployment runs through preconfigured templates on AWS, Azure, and GCP, giving security teams repeatable, auditable rollouts.
