Application Access providers

Application Access providers publish HTTP endpoints without exposing the matching routes through Wodby's ordinary public gateway.

Machine name: application_access

Use an Application Access provider when:

  • an internal app should be available only to approved users or devices
  • an admin or operational endpoint should be protected while the main site remains public
  • the access provider should own the external hostname and connection path

Application Access is configured for an app instance, not attached to an individual service. The selected scope can cover the entire app or only selected HTTP endpoints.

Supported providers

Provider Access model
Cloudflare Cloudflare Access identity policies or private-network routing through Cloudflare One
Tailscale Private-network access through a Tailscale tailnet

The providers use one common Wodby workflow but keep their provider-specific access types and settings. Cloudflare Protected access requires a DNS zone, customer hostname, and reusable Access policy. Cloudflare Private network and Tailscale assign or reuse provider-routed hostnames and do not require DNS-zone or policy selection in Wodby.

See App access for modes, scopes, endpoints, route suppression, and primary-hostname behavior.
