Simplify allowlist management and lock down origin access with Cloudflare Aegis

Cloudflare presents Aegis, its origin protection solution that uses dedicated egress IPs to lock down origin access, announcing Bring Your Own IPs (BYOIP), an API for enabling/disabling Aegis across accounts, and upcoming analytics to monitor port and capacity usage. The post explains routing with soft-unicast and Unimog, IPv4 capacity planning (~40k concurrent connections per IP per origin) versus IPv6 scalability, connection reuse/coalescence benefits, and recommends adopting IPv6, HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, and multi-layer origin protections aligned with Zero Trust.
