Abstract
An IPSec tunnel request for establishing an IPSec tunnel from a customer router to an anycast IP address of a distributed cloud computing network is received. The same anycast IP address is shared among compute servers of the distributed cloud computing network. A handshake is performed with the customer router from a first compute server including generating security associations for encrypting and decrypting IPSec traffic. The security associations are propagated to each compute server and are used for encrypting and decrypting traffic.
