Zero Trust Private Networking Rules

In a recent announcement, Cloudflare revealed that it will soon extend identity-driven access controls on its network to include session and login interval control for private networks. This development aims to address the limitations of traditional private networks in adapting to increasingly remote work environments. By leveraging Cloudflare's global network, users can securely connect their private networks to the platform using outbound-only tunnels or more conventional connection approaches like GRE or IPSec tunnels. This enables administrators to create granular, identity-based policies for controlling user access to specific applications on certain IP addresses or hostnames. The upcoming beta release will also introduce support for UDP and allow users to map their application hostnames on local domains, preventing issues with clashing or ephemeral private IP addresses.
