On August 24, 2026 Cloudflare announced a new self‑serve workflow for the Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance. After registering an appliance, users can choose their hypervisor—VMware ESXi, Proxmox, or libvirt/KVM—directly on the Connectors page and download the appropriate image or install script without hunting for external URLs.
For VMware ESXi, an OVA image is provided; for Proxmox and libvirt/KVM, a ready‑to‑run install script is available. A “View setup guide” link opens platform‑specific deployment instructions, complementing the existing registration and license‑key generation flow.
This change streamlines deployment for organizations adopting Cloudflare One for secure networking, reducing friction and speeding up time‑to‑value.
