Cloudflare Zero Trust

Cloudflare Zero Trust is a cloud-based security and access control platform that enables granular access policies for self-hosted web applications.

Use Case

Provides access control for personal websites and services, such as restricting notes pages to authenticated access by specific users.

Configuration

Application Setup

  • The application must be configured as self-hosted
  • OTP (One-Time Password) login method must be activated
  • Authentication is handled globally through the configured login method

Access Policy

  • Allow policies should specify only the email address
  • Do not restrict to specific login or authentication methods
  • Authentication enforcement is handled globally, not per-policy

This approach ensures secure access while maintaining flexibility in authentication methods.
