Zero Trust WARP: tunneling with a MASQUE
Mar 6, 2024Dan Hall
Summary
This post details the integration of the MASQUE protocol into Cloudflare's Zero Trust WARP offering. MASQUE, built on HTTP/3 and QUIC, replaces WireGuard as the tunneling protocol. Key technical benefits include leveraging standard port 443 for improved connectivity across restrictive networks, offering FIPS-compliant cipher suites via TLS 1.3, and providing a more extensible protocol for future Zero Trust solutions. The implementation leverages Cloudflare's existing global network infrastructure for MASQUE, HTTP/3, and QUIC, ensuring proven reliability and scale.
