You can now restart, reboot, or shut down a [Cloudflare One Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/) directly from the dashboard or via API.

- **Restart** — Restart managed services. Purges temporary and (optionally) persistent state.
- **Reboot** — Power cycle the appliance. Optionally, purge persistent state. Re-applies configuration starting from scratch.
- **Shutdown** — Power off the appliance. Optionally, purge persistent state. The machine will be offline until manually powered on again.

In the dashboard, go to **Networking** > **Connectors** > **Appliances**, select an appliance, then **Edit** > **Operations** to send an operation. Via API, `POST` to the `/accounts/{account_id}/magic/connectors/{connector_id}/interrupts` endpoint.

For details, refer to [Appliance operations](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/maintenance/appliance-operations/).
