## Traffic Destination selector in Gateway policies

[Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/) [Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-09-23-traffic-destination-selector/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Gateway [HTTP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/http-policies/) and [Network](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/network-policies/) policies now include a **Traffic Destination** selector that identifies how traffic exits Cloudflare. This allows administrators to write policies that target specific off-ramp methods - for example, applying different rules to traffic destined for the public Internet compared to traffic routed through Cloudflare Tunnel or Cloudflare WAN.

#### Available traffic destination values

| UI name | API value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Internet | `internet` | Traffic to the public Internet |
| Cloudflare WAN | `cloudflare_wan` | Traffic through a [Cloudflare WAN](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-wan/) connection |
| Cloudflare Tunnel | `cloudflare_tunnel` | Traffic to a private origin through [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/) |
| Cloudflare One Client | `device_client` | Traffic to another device running the [Cloudflare One Client](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/cloudflare-one-client/) |
| Mesh | `mesh` | Traffic through a [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/) node |

The selector uses the `net.offramp.type` API field in both HTTP and Network policies.

| UI name | API example |
| --- | --- |
| Traffic Destination | `net.offramp.type == "internet"` |
