Cloudflare has released a beta command line tool to help teams transition from using VPNs to their more secure solution, Access. The new tool, called cloudflared, allows users to access server endpoints and APIs protected by Cloudflare Access directly from the command line without needing to authenticate each time. This enhances security while also improving efficiency for team members. Additionally, granular policies can be created to control who can reach specific API paths or sensitive data. The tool is currently in beta and does not yet support automated scripting or service-to-service connections.
