Improved support for private applications and reusable access policies with Cloudflare Access

This post introduces the ability to define private applications (those accessible via private IP addresses or hostnames) directly within Cloudflare Access, mirroring the experience for public hostname applications. It also introduces reusable access policies, allowing administrators to define policies once and apply them across multiple applications. Previously, private application access was handled via Cloudflare Gateway, creating an inconsistent user experience. This update integrates private application management directly into Access, enabling consistent ZTNA for both public and private resources, and supporting non-browser applications like SSH and RDP.
