I'm looking for a way to securely make an on-premises website available externally for a limited number of students. We currently use Entra App Proxy and Entra Private Access to access some resources, but they don't work well for this website because it has a lot of videos. Here are my specific requirements:
- The site must require users to pre-authenticate with Entra credentials, similar to the Entra App Proxy.
- Users shouldn't have to install anything on their devices to access the site.
- The website should be accessible from devices that are neither Entra-joined nor have the Entra Private Access agent.
- It should be available to about 80 users.
Entra App Proxy would be perfect if it didn't have these limitations. Does anyone have suggestions, or does Cloudflare offer something that fits these needs?

Have you considered using reverse proxy services? Cloudflare can help with that too. If you have reliable internet access from anywhere, you might even set up a budget-friendly solution without those Entra limitations.
You might want to check out Cloudflare Zero Trust. It's designed to let you make applications available securely without needing to install anything on client devices. It should also allow you to manage access by security groups in Entra!
Thanks! So Cloudflare Zero Trust wouldn’t require any client installations, and I can set it up to only allow access to specific security groups?
