There are various methods to onboard your traffic and your method will be determined based on your individual or organizational requirements. In this learning path, we will focus on an [**Agentless (DNS only) deployment method**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/dns/).

Protecting more than DNS, such as network packets, HTTP requests, or egress traffic is possible, but requires a more advanced deployment method such as [WARP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/warp/) or [Magic WAN](https://developers.cloudflare.com/magic-wan/zero-trust/cloudflare-gateway/).
