Deploying Cloudflare Access for Zero Trust

When to Use

When replacing VPN infrastructure with identity-aware application access using Cloudflare One
When exposing self-hosted internal applications through Cloudflare Tunnel without opening inbound ports
When implementing ZTNA for a distributed workforce accessing web applications, SSH, and RDP services
When needing a cost-effective zero trust solution with integrated DLP, CASB, and SWG capabilities
When securing contractor and third-party access to specific applications without full network access

Do not use for applications requiring persistent UDP connections not supported by Cloudflare Tunnel, for environments requiring air-gapped or fully on-premises access control, or when regulatory requirements prohibit routing traffic through third-party cloud infrastructure.

Prerequisites

Cloudflare account with Zero Trust subscription (Free for up to 50 users, paid plans for larger teams)
Domain name managed by Cloudflare DNS (or ability to add CNAME records)
Linux, Windows, or macOS server to run cloudflared tunnel daemon
Identity provider: Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, GitHub, or any SAML/OIDC provider
Cloudflare WARP client for device-level enrollment (optional but recommended)

Workflow

Step 1: Create a Cloudflare Tunnel to Internal Applications

Install cloudflared and create a persistent tunnel to expose internal services.

# Install cloudflared on Ubuntu/Debian
curl -L https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb \
  -o cloudflared.deb
sudo dpkg -i cloudflared.deb

# Authenticate cloudflared with your Cloudflare account
cloudflared tunnel login

# Create a named tunnel
cloudflared tunnel create internal-apps
# Output: Created tunnel internal-apps with id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

# Configure tunnel routes to internal applications
cat > ~/.cloudflared/config.yml << 'EOF'
tunnel: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
credentials-file: /home/admin/.cloudflared/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.json

ingress:
  - hostname: wiki.company.com
    service: http://localhost:8080
  - hostname: git.company.com
    service: http://10.1.1.50:3000
  - hostname: grafana.company.com
    service: http://10.1.1.60:3000
  - hostname: ssh.company.com
    service: ssh://localhost:22
  - hostname: rdp.company.com
    service: rdp://10.1.1.100:3389
  
  - service: http_status:404

cloudflared tunnel route dns internal-apps wiki.company.com
cloudflared tunnel route dns internal-apps git.company.com
cloudflared tunnel route dns internal-apps grafana.company.com


 cloudflared service install
 systemctl  cloudflared
 systemctl start cloudflared

Term	Definition
Cloudflare Tunnel	Encrypted outbound-only connection from your infrastructure to Cloudflare's network, exposing internal services without opening inbound firewall ports
Cloudflare Access	Identity-aware reverse proxy evaluating every request against access policies before granting access to protected applications
WARP Client	Cloudflare's endpoint agent that routes device traffic through Cloudflare's network for policy enforcement and private network access
Access Application	Configuration object defining a protected resource (self-hosted, SaaS, or infrastructure) with associated access policies
Device Posture	Endpoint health signals (OS version, disk encryption, EDR status) evaluated as conditions in Access policies
Cloudflare One	Unified SASE platform combining ZTNA (Access), SWG (Gateway), CASB, DLP, and RBI
