## From the publisher

You now have two new ways to protect your Workers with Cloudflare Access. Protect an application across all its domains at once Until now, if a Worker was reachable on a route, a Custom Domain, and a workers.dev URL, you had to manually add each one to an Access application and keep the list in sync whenever routes or domains changed. Now, Access attaches the policy to the Worker itself, so every associated domain and preview URL stays protected even when its routes or domains change. Protect all new and existing Workers by default Make all Workers private by default, so every existing and newly created Worker requires sign-in before anyone can reach it. If a specific Worker should remain publicly accessible, add a Worker-level bypass to exempt it.
