When you register a [Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/), you can now select your hypervisor and download the appliance directly from the dashboard — no need to look up asset URLs.

- On the **Connectors** page, select **Add an appliance**, choose **Virtual appliance**, then select your hypervisor: **VMware ESXi**, **Proxmox**, or **libvirt/KVM**.
- Download the OVA image (VMware ESXi) or the install script (Proxmox and libvirt/KVM) for the selected hypervisor.
- Use **View setup guide** to open deployment instructions for your platform.

This complements the existing self-serve [registration and license key generation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/configure-virtual-appliance/#register-a-virtual-appliance-and-generate-a-license-key) in the dashboard.
