Summary

Magic NAT is a new approach to Network Address Translation (NAT) that aims to solve the problems of traditional hardware and virtual solutions. It offers unlimited capacity, global availability through Anycast architecture, and compatibility with any network type. Magic NAT for Carriers can handle high volumes of traffic, simplifying NAT deployment and reducing complexity and cost associated with thousands or millions of connections. The solution is built on Cloudflare One's foundational components and works across all network-layer on-ramps, including Anycast GRE or IPsec, CNI, and WARP. It also supports address translation between IP versions and can be used in conjunction with security policies for safe access. Magic NAT leverages Cloudflare's entire network capacity and is priced based on the 95th percentile of clean bandwidth usage, eliminating unexpected charges.
