Protecting Remote Desktops at Scale with Cloudflare Access

What this post added

This post introduces Argo Tunnel RDP Bastion mode, a significant enhancement to Cloudflare Access's ability to protect remote desktop protocol (RDP) connections at scale. It addresses the deployment challenges of installing individual daemons on every RDP server by allowing a single cloudflared instance to act as a jump-host, proxying requests to multiple internal servers. This simplifies the process for organizations managing large fleets of remote desktops, enabling identity-driven access control for RDP and other protocols like SSH and FTP, thereby strengthening security and manageability in remote work scenarios.
