how does this compare to simply using zerotier or tailscale?

Cloudflare Access does Zero Trust, something like Tailscale provides a mesh network with SSO. Tailscale has cool ACL rules, but it's not really the best way to implement true Zero Trust, especially for web applications.

I personally use Tailscale for as its a lot easier to use when you're the only one on the network compared to configuring Access for everything, but CF's zero trust stuff is quite enticing if you're running a business.

authzed.com is a better fit if you need ACLs for your web properties (Tailscale ACLs are super-clean though and I fully intend to copy it for one of my projects).

tailscale and zerotier are software-based solutions.

Cloudflare is rolling out physical lines directly to offices (like ISPs do, for ex https://www.tatacommunications.com/solutions/).
