You can forward [HTTP](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/initial-setup/http/) and [network](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/initial-setup/network/) traffic to Gateway for logging and filtering. Gateway can proxy both outbound traffic and traffic directed to resources connected via a Cloudflare Tunnel, GRE tunnel, or IPsec tunnel.
