HOW IT WORKS

On-premises and hybrid infrastructure protected via our global network

Magic Transit delivers network protection from Cloudflare data centers. Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route announcements, inbound traffic is ingested at the closest Cloudflare data center.

Clean traffic is routed rapidly over Cloudflares network and can be handed off over GRE tunnels, private network interconnects (PNI), or other forms of peering to the customer network.
