How Workers VPC Services connects to your regional private networks from anywhere in the world

Cloudflare announces Workers VPC Services (open beta), enabling Workers to securely reach private APIs, databases, and services in regional networks via Cloudflare Tunnels and least-privilege service bindings; the post details how requests traverse from Workers through a binding worker to Iris, Apollo, and the Tunnel Connector for DNS resolution and routing, emphasizes security benefits such as explicit access control and resistance to SSRF, and outlines a roadmap for deeper network integrations (IPsec, CNI, AWS Transit Gateway), expanded protocol support (Hyperdrive, TCP), and autogenerated service hostnames—all available at no additional cost during the beta.
