Cloudflare helps organizations transform their networks by providing secure, high-performance connectivity for on-premises networks, virtual cloud networks and access to SaaS applications. As applications migrate to the cloud. [Cloudflare's SASE](https://www.cloudflare.com/zero-trust/) platform enables businesses to replace traditional on-premise solutions, ensuring secure access, low latency, and automated scalability across distributed environments. This approach reduces reliance on legacy hardware, simplifies IT management, and improves user experience for cloud-based services.

Magic WAN Connector is a physical, or virtual (deployed as a VM on a hypervisor) device which, using [Zero Touch Provisioning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-touch_provisioning), automatically on-ramps traffic for a local network to Cloudflare, and replaces existing, difficult to manage edge hardware.

1. **Intra-segment**: Traffic between LAN ports on the same Connector is blocked by default, hence, Subnet A and Subnet B in Segment 1 cannot talk to each other. The administrator would have to explicitly allow this traffic flow by using configuration logic similar to IP access lists. This ability to hairpin local traffic via the Connector's LAN ports, avoids traffic tromboning via the Cloudflare platform (that is, travel out and back in via the Magic WAN tunnel), which could result in those segments losing connectivity to each other in the event of Internet circuit outage. Therefore, this capability allows local nodes that do not necessarily require Internet access to function, for example printers, file servers, network attached storage (NAS) nodes, and various Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to continue being accessible by local hosts in different segments during Internet outages.

2. **Inter-segment**: Magic WAN Connector does not allow any inbound traffic on its WAN ports. Therefore, Segments 1 and 2 cannot talk to each other.

To summarize, Magic WAN Connector is a Zero-Touch Provisioning ([ZTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-touch_provisioning)) device that organizations can use to connect to Cloudflare and consume advanced security and connectivity services, while keeping operational costs low.
