## Introducing Cloudflare Mesh

[Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/)

[Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/) is now available ([blog post ↗︎](https://blog.cloudflare.com/mesh/)). Mesh connects your services and devices with post-quantum encrypted networking, allowing you to route traffic privately between servers, laptops, and phones over TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

#### What Cloudflare Mesh does

- Assigns a private [Mesh IP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/concepts/#mesh-ips) to every enrolled device and node.
- Enables any participant to reach any other participant by IP — including client-to-client, without deploying any infrastructure.
- Supports [CIDR routes](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/features/routes/) for subnet routing through Mesh nodes.
- Supports [high availability](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/features/high-availability/) with active-passive replicas for nodes with routes.
- All traffic flows through Cloudflare, so [Gateway network policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-controls/network-policies/), [device posture checks](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/reusable-components/posture-checks/), and access rules apply to every connection.

#### What changed

- **WARP Connector** is now **Cloudflare Mesh**. Existing WARP Connectors are now called mesh nodes. All existing deployments continue to work — no migration required.
- **Peer-to-peer connectivity** is now called **Mesh connectivity** and is part of the Cloudflare Mesh documentation.
- **Mesh node limit** increased from 10 to **50 per account**.
- New [dashboard experience ↗︎](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/mesh) at **Networking** > **Mesh** with an interactive network map, node management, route configuration, diagnostics, and a setup wizard.

#### Get started

Refer to the [Cloudflare Mesh documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/) to set up your first Mesh network.
