FiveTech Software tech support forums

Hello friends,

over the past weeks I tried to make Cloudflare Tunnels and Zero Trust (MFA, protected endpoints, etc.) a topic here. The technology itself is quite simple — and with real exchange it becomes even easier. And especially in security, more eyes and shared experience always help.

I don’t want to become annoying with a topic that may not be relevant for most people, so let me ask directly:

Is Cloudflare (Tunnel, Zero Trust, MFA) something you are using or planning to use — or is this simply not relevant for most Harbour developers?

Why I still believe it could matter even for desktop developers:
Cloudflare Tunnel allows you to replace TeamViewer and similar remote-support tools, because secure RDP via Zero Trust behaves almost like a local session. For us this made daily work significantly smoother.

Before I continue documenting our experience, I’d like to understand whether there is real interest in the group.
Even a short yes/no is enough.

From my side, I’ll put this topic on ice here in the forum for now.
If anyone wants to break it out of the ice later, feel free.

Thanks,
Otto

My personal opinion: Cloudflare only make a false sense of security and is for sure an annoying delay in the website response time.

Dear Enrico,

Do you remember when we had lots of attacks to these forums ?

Cloudflare solved them. We found no other way to do it.
