Cloud on-ramps

Magic Cloud Networking Beta allows you to create on-ramps from your cloud networks to Magic WAN. Cloudflare will create virtual private network (VPN) tunnels between Magic WAN and your virtual private cloud (VPC), configuring both sides of the connection on your behalf. Cloudflare orchestrates the cloud provider’s native VPN functionality, without requiring deployment of any additional compute virtual machines (VMs).

You need to have a Magic Cloud Networking account to be able to create on-ramps from your cloud networks to Magic WAN. Contact your account team to learn more.

​​ Create a Magic WAN cloud on-ramp

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard Open external link , and select your account.
2. Select Magic WAN > Cloud on-ramps.
3. Select Add new on-ramp.
4. Give your new on-ramp a descriptive name.
5. Select the network you want to connect to, and select Continue.
6. Configure on-ramp shows where Cloudflare will install the new routes. Installing these routes is required to correctly configure both Magic WAN and your cloud provider, and ensure successful communication between them:

   • Add routes for your Magic WAN address space to your cloud network: Select this option to install routes for reaching Magic WAN in your cloud network’s route tables (refer to Magic WAN Address Space to learn what routes are installed and how to customize them). If you prefer to do this manually, unselect this option.

   • Add routes for your cloud network to Magic WAN: Select this option to create routes for reaching your cloud network in Magic WAN.

7. Select Continue. Applying your settings might take a few seconds to complete.
8. Review the changes in your cloud environment, and select Approve changes.

You have successfully created your Magic WAN on-ramp. However, on-ramp creation can take up to an hour before you can use it.

2. Select Magic WAN > Cloud on-ramps.
3. Select the on-ramp you want to delete.
4. Select Edit in the side panel.
5. Choose Detach or Destroy to proceed:
   • Detach: Cloudflare will stop managing the cloud resources that were created to build this on-ramp, but will leave them in place. On-ramp connectivity will not be impacted.
   • Destroy: Cloudflare will delete the resources that were created to build this on-ramp in the cloud provider, if possible. Resources cannot be deleted if other resources depend upon them. For example, if an AWS Customer Gateway was created for this on-ramp, but was subsequently used in a second on-ramp, destroying this on-ramp will not destroy the AWS Customer Gateway.
