Cloudflare Network Interconnect
Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) allows you to connect your network infrastructure directly with Cloudflare – rather than using the public Internet – for a more reliable and secure experience.
CNI benefits
Use CNI with other products in Cloudflare’s suite for additional benefits.
