The record

Purpose: Magic Transit provides DDoS protection, traffic acceleration, and other network security and performance services for on-premises, cloud-hosted, and hybrid networks.
How it works: Cloudflare announces a customer’s IP address space using BGP and uses anycast to ingest traffic, inspect it, filter or steer it, and send it to the customer’s origin.
Connections: Magic Transit connects to origin infrastructure using anycast GRE tunnels over the Internet or Cloudflare Network Interconnect through physical or virtual interconnects.
Mitigation speed: Cloudflare says malicious traffic is usually identified and blocked at the nearest Cloudflare data center within three seconds.
Network firewall: Magic Transit users automatically receive standard Cloudflare Network Firewall features, including filtering rules, a programmable API, and per-rule traffic analytics.
Integrations: Standard Network Firewall features include integration with Cloudflare WAN; the Magic Transit Virtual Network can transport packets between tunnels, interconnects, Cloudflare Load Balancer, and Zero Trust connections.
Notifications: Tunnel health alerts can be sent by email, webhook, or PagerDuty when tunnel health falls below a configured service-level objective.
Security compliance: Cloudflare says its SOC 2 Type II report covers security, confidentiality, and availability controls and is available to customers through the dashboard or under NDA.
Availability: Magic Transit is enterprise-only and is not a self-serve product; prospective customers are asked to engage Cloudflare’s team to scope their configuration.
Address requirement: Using Magic Transit requires a publicly routable IP address block of at least /24, unless the customer uses a Cloudflare-owned IP address.
Regional limitation: Cloudflare’s China Network does not yet support Magic Transit.
Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States
