For a self-hosted application with a valid SSL certificate and support for OAuth, what are the benefits that Cloudflare Access provides? From what I can tell, it also filters traffic to possibly block attacks? Can it even be used with a self-hosted app if you aren't also running Cloudflare Tunnel? Is there a better alternative (that also integrates with major OAuth providers like Google, Github, etc) for self-hosters? Thanks for the help in understanding how this works.

Never perform personal tasks on work equipment. If it's not something you'd expose to the open net, you definitely shouldn't be accessing it from equipment you don't own.

Get a personal laptop for remote tasks, or use your phone.
