# Meet Cloudflare Mesh: servers, laptops, and phones all wired together!

Hey everyone, it's Shii-chan! Today I've got some exciting networking news for you.

## What was announced?

Over on Cloudflare's Changelog, [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/) is now available. It connects devices and nodes like servers, laptops, and phones over a private network protected with post-quantum encryption. You can route TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic privately between them without deploying infrastructure at each site.

## The story so far

This isn't brand new so much as an evolution of WARP Connector. With this update, WARP Connector has been renamed to Cloudflare Mesh, and what used to be called "peer-to-peer connectivity" is now "Mesh connectivity." The Mesh node limit per account also went up from 10 to 50, so you can build much bigger setups.

## What changes

Every enrolled device and node gets a private Mesh IP, so any participant can reach any other directly by IP. The nice part is that even client-to-client connections work without standing up infrastructure.

There's also a new dashboard at Networking > Mesh that bundles a network map, node management, route configuration, diagnostics, and a setup wizard.

## Dive Deep

A little more under the hood:

- You can route to subnets behind a Mesh node using [CIDR routes](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/routes/).
- Nodes with routes can run in [high availability](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/high-availability/) with active-passive replicas.
- Every connection integrates with [Gateway network policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/network-policies/), device posture checks, and access rules, so your Zero Trust controls apply as-is.

## Wrap-up

- WARP Connector is now [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/), a private network with post-quantum encryption.
- Route TCP, UDP, and ICMP directly with no infrastructure, including client-to-client.
- Node limit raised from 10 to 50, with CIDR routes, high availability, and Gateway integration.
- Manage it all from the new Networking > Mesh dashboard.

This one's for folks who want to connect internal servers and remote devices, or build a Zero Trust network!
