Traditional VPN solutions create several problems for VoIP deployments, primarily due to their inefficiencies in handling real-time traffic protocols such as [SIP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol) and [RTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Transport_Protocol). Legacy VPN deployments introduce high latency and jitter, which negatively impact voice call quality. Additionally, they often struggle with [NAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation) traversal, leading to connection issues for VoIP calls.

Cloudflare improves over traditional VPN solutions by leveraging its [global network](https://www.cloudflare.com/network/) of data centers in over 300 cities to significantly reduce latency for remote users. When using our device agent, remote users are automatically connected to the nearest Cloudflare data center, thus reducing latency. Additionally, the WARP Connector ensures secure, bidirectional communication between remote users and the on-premise SIP server, without exposing the server to the public Internet. This shields the VoIP infrastructure from potential attacks while maintaining a seamless, encrypted connection for real-time communications.

This document explains how Cloudflare can be architected with a self-hosted VoIP service. Note the solution below uses our [WARP Connector](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/private-net/warp-connector/), a small piece of software deployed on a server in the same subnet as the VoIP servers and creates bi-directional traffic flow through Cloudflare to users.

The diagram above shows the WARP Connector and our device agent deployed to create a highly performant, reliable connectivity for private VoIP services. Note that Cloudflare will assign remote users an address from the <GlossaryTooltip term="CGNAT IP">CGNAT range</GlossaryTooltip>, which is used for the private network created between device agents.

2. WARP Connector creates a secure tunnel to Cloudflare and is configured as a virtual router in the private network.
