Applying globle access policies to ZT public hostnames
Hi, I have a remote server where I test multiple web services. I use Zero Trust Tunnels and public hostnames to ensure security and ease of management. For each new HTTP service running on the server, I create a public hostname via Zero Trust Tunnel, then create an application to restrict access to myself. This allows safe testing in a browser without configuring firewalls, passwords, etc.
While this workflow works, I'm unsure of its efficiency. For each public hostname, I must create a new application, or else it defaults to being fully public on the internet. Additionally, I need to create the same policies for every application. Is there a way to establish a default or global access policy for the entire domain? Thank you!

CDN vs Zerotrust tunnel hostname for website
Hi, I want to compare the 2 setup options for a website that is hosted at an VPS with a public ip with a domain name at Cloudflare:
1) turn on proxy at DNS settings, so the website is proxied by Cloudflare CDN
2) setup a tunnel at the VPS (install cloudflared), and create a public hostname for https://localhost:443 and allowing everyone to access it
Is there any functional/performance differece to the above 2 setups?
