How exactly are Cloudflare tunnels “unsafe”? And what makes you think VPNs are a better option?
I’ve used CF quite a lot and the major downside is that you have to have decent authn/authz on at least one end of your tunnel but CF does not necessarily provide this. VPNs provide authn but not necessarily authz depending on the setup. In either case, how you set up and manage identities and credentials is key.
The best way to achieve this depends entirely on what applications you are exposing and what options they give you for identity management.
