Cloudflare One, Access - Require Access protection for zones

$npx -y @buildinternet/releases show rel_Oy8b0iW6nJM0AgqkaLXMP

You can now require Cloudflare Access protection for all hostnames in your account. When enabled, traffic to any hostname that does not have a matching Access application is automatically blocked. This deny-by-default approach prevents accidental exposure of internal resources to the public Internet. If a developer deploys a new application or creates a DNS record without configuring an Access application, the traffic is blocked rather than exposed. Require Cloudflare Access protection in the dashboard How it works

Blocked by default: Traffic to all hostnames in the account is blocked unless an Access application exists for that hostname. Explicit access required: To allow traffic, create an Access application with an Allow or Bypass policy. Hostname exemptions: You can exempt specific hostnames from this requirement.

To turn on this feature, refer to Require Access protection.
