As long as the application is reachable via a Cloudflare off-ramp, you can now enforce your critical security controls — like single sign-on (SSO), MFA, device posture, and variable session lengths — to any private application. This allows you to extend Zero Trust security to services like SSH, RDP, internal databases, and other non-HTTPS applications. + +![Example private application on non-443 port](~/assets/images/changelog/access/internal_private_app_any_port.png) + +For example, you can now create a self-hosted application in Access for `ssh.testapp.local` running on port `22`. You can then build a policy that only allows engineers in your organization to connect after they pass an SSO/MFA check and are using a corporate device. + +This feature is generally available across all plans.
