Announcing Anycast IPsec: a new on-ramp to Cloudflare One
Cloudflare has announced support for IPsec as an on-ramp to its Cloudflare One network security suite. The company built this support due to customer demand for using IPsec at the network layer, owing to its universal vendor support and encryption across all traffic. This implementation is faster and easier to use than traditional IPsec connectivity and integrates deeply with the Cloudflare One suite to provide unified security, performance, and reliability across all traffic. The new system uses a global Anycast network, allowing customers to establish one IPsec tunnel to access 250+ locations. This is similar to the hub-and-spoke model but with a "hub" that is everywhere, fast, and easy to manage.
