Cloudflare Access aims to replace corporate VPNs

Techcrunch ---------- If you’re part of a reasonably big company, chances are there are certain resources that are only available via the intranet, internal network, or whatever your company calls it.

The basic idea of a VPN is that instead of sending your network traffic directly to the website or service you’re trying to contact, be it Netflix or the company intranet, you send it to a trusted server.
