**Private resources function like a zero-trust virtual private network (VPN).** Explicit access to resources must be granted for users and roles to be able to access them. For this reason, we recommend using private resources for all raw TCP/UDP traffic that doesn't need a public proxy, instead of relying on raw TCP/UDP public resources (as discussed above). **Private resources function like a zero-trust virtual private network (VPN).** Explicit access to resources must be granted for users and roles to be able to access them.

Private resources support single hosts or entire network ranges (CIDR). Private resources can also have internal DNS alias hostnames assigned for easy, human-readable naming. Users don't choose to connect to specific resources; rather, when they connect via a client to your organization, they can access all resources their account has access to at once.
