One of the pre-requisites to using Private Network Load Balancing (PNLB) with Magic WAN is having Magic WAN set up in your account and having completed onboarding. You can connect with a Magic WAN Connector, or your own hardware via an IPsec or GRE tunnel. Check out the [Magic WAN documentation](/magic-wan/get-started/) for more details or to get started.

Load Balancer Pools are logical groupings of endpoints — typically organized by physical datacenter or geographic region. The endpoints in the pool are the destinations where traffic is ultimately routed.

Traffic from your load balancer will appear to originate from one of Cloudflare’s IP addresses. These IP addresses must be whitelisted to ensure proper traffic flow. Ensure your routing is properly configured to return traffic to your Magic WAN tunnels and not the public Internet.

If you want your load balancer and its endpoints to be transparently accessible to users via a hostname, you can create a DNS record in your internal DNS system or create an override in Cloudflare that maps the hostname to the Load Balancer's IP address. This ensures that traffic destined for the hostname resolves to the correct IP.
