Cloudflare Zero Trust replaces a traditional VPN for accessing internal applications: you define policies by user identity and the tunnel connects outbound, so nothing is exposed to the internet. The free tier covers a meaningful number of users, which makes it viable for small teams.
Where it falls short
Setup requires understanding tunnels and identity providers, and the dashboard's terminology is not intuitive on a first pass.
