Benefits of Cloudflare Access (alien.top)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

For a self-hosted application with a valid SSL certificate and support for OAuth, what are the benefits that Cloudflare Access provides? From what I can tell, it also filters traffic to possibly block attacks? Can it even be used with a self-hosted app if you aren't also running Cloudflare Tunnel? Is there a better alternative (that also integrates with major OAuth providers like Google, Github, etc) for self-hosters? Thanks for the help in understanding how this works.

There’s not much reasons of exposing any of your local services to internet. Use vpn to have access to your local resources. This is best you can come up with for your home lab

For most things I agree but I this case I'm thinking of a service where you want to have a group of people access and they all aren't willing or tech-saavy enough to install a VPN
