# Configure tunnels and routes

In this unit you will learn how to set up tunnels and routes to steer traffic.

## Objectives

By the end of this module you will be able to:

* Create tunnels on both the Cloudflare side and your router side to connect to your infrastructure.
* Configure static routes or dynamic routes with BGP peering to steer your traffic via next-hop from Cloudflare's global network to your connected networks.
