# Gateway connection methods

There are various methods to onboard your traffic and your method will be determined based on your individual or organizational requirements. In this learning path, we will focus on an [**Agentless (DNS only) deployment method**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/dns/).

Protecting more than DNS, such as network packets, HTTP requests, or egress traffic is possible, but requires a more advanced deployment method such as [WARP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/cloudflare-one-client/) or [Cloudflare WAN](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/zero-trust/cloudflare-gateway/).
