Cloudflare Gateway dedicated egress and egress policies
Cloudflare offers dedicated source IPs for administrators transitioning from on-premise appliances to cloud-based security services like Cloudflare Gateway. Dedicated egress IPs provide a persistent identifier for traffic filtering and routing, allowing organizations to maintain the convenience of allowlist policies based on static source IPs while leveraging the benefits of Cloudflare's global network. These dedicated IPs are exclusive to assigned customers and can be used via various on-ramps such as Cloudflare's device client (WARP), proxy endpoints, GRE and IPsec on-ramps, or any of their 1600+ peering network locations. Upcoming functionality includes an egress IP policy builder in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard, allowing administrators to specify which IP is used for egress traffic based on various attributes such as application, content category, domain, user group, destination IP, and more.
