Spectrum

Spectrum allows you to route email, file transfer, games, and more over TCP or UDP through Cloudflare. This means you can mask your origin and protect it from DDoS attacks.

While you can use BYOIP or static IPs to control which IPs are used for ingress with Spectrum, Aegis allows you to have a more strict list of egress IPs as well.

Aegis with Spectrum supports both TCP and UDP application types. HTTP/HTTPS types are also supported, although through a different configuration.
