What the Community Says
Cloudflare WARP has a “good when it works” reputation, especially for people who want a quick, simple way to stabilize their connection. It’s often praised for feeling fast and helping with annoying routing issues—some gamers say it reduces disconnects and can even make rough ping situations feel better. People also like that it encrypts your traffic without constantly swapping your public IP like a typical “hide-my-location” VPN.
The big catch is that it’s not the most reliable “do-everything” VPN: some sites and apps don’t play nicely with it, and a few services just block it outright. It can also be hit-or-miss for bypassing censorship—sometimes it works, sometimes it slows to a crawl or fails depending on the network firewall. And if you need help, Cloudflare’s customer support and communication style can rub people the wrong way.

"@gunbreakmyheart cloudflare warp totally saved my ass last night, i stopped dc'ing"
"I hate to say this right now, but its not a joke. For anyone concerned. Cloudflare warp is 100% free and does seem to solve alot of disconnecting. It's a very small program that you simply flip on when playing 14 and flip off when not. Seriously, make your life easy, download it"
"with cloudflare warp and vrcvideocacher but it doesnt play youtube livestreams or twitch streams or ANYTHING but youtube videos for 8-16 seconds this is a cry for help"
"@UK_Daniel_Card using that won't get your account banned. cloudflare even provides it for free with WARP, plus you don't get the *100k/day request limit and it's very stable."

"@TaleraRis @_iroira That is true although I can vouch for Cloudflare Warp, I only got one DC after playing for over 13 hours of prog yesterday."
"I really wanted to use Cloudflare containers for my new relay server but its tech is severely limited. Fortunately, fly(dot)io had exactly what I needed. Low-level network access. Guess ill just build a better Warp+"

"@justvamsi7 @Fortinet Use warp cloudflare"
"@seremptos @__alula cloudflare warp has our backs"
"When I enable Cloudflare WARP (secure tunnel), the SAME websites open instantly — which proves Airtel’s DNS / network is blocking or breaking Cloudflare / Akamai based sites."
"Shout out cloudflare warp"
"@lizyeld @franticworry @Lewislegal2024 @ScottDuhig @j_wallwork @UKinjustice2025 @SpokenInjustice @rluthersmith @hanksoff03 @seanbwparker @KingOfHits @lawrencepatihis @Aguirre115622 WARP by Cloudflare is handy if you are being blocked for some reason via your internet provider. Its a free VPN that is simple to download and use."
"@SageTreacherous @FF_XIV_EN People tried that, OCE got DDoSed in the process. Just use warp from Cloudflare, no sense in using a 3rd party plugin."
"Cloudflare warp is 100% required to play final fantasy fourteen i love being ddosed from ffxiv constantly disconnecting from ff xiv grats jp"
"I was on Cloudflare Warp network and it didn't allow me to access Hotstar 🥲"
"@ShantDotMe @ProtonVPN @torproject So the question is: who do you trust? your ISP? your VPN provider? I personally prefer services where you don't need an account or login, such as Quad9 for DNS or Cloudflare Warp for 'VPN'."
"@Raynerdtech Install Cloudflare's Warp"
"@BlizzardCS Problem is still activ! i cant join with.. Error : BLZBNTBGS80000011 when i start Cloudflare Warp. i can join the launcher"
"@dontcallyorm @mimibabk @elidoslinks Yes, and it could be otherwise. Help to storage files with ©️ in countries with a weak policy towards p1r4te material. Countries of Latin America often don't give a f*ck about piracy. I mean, u can just use Stremio without a VPN. I use WARP CLOUDFLARE but for privacy reasons."
"@Kimmy_JKT48 pake app 1.1.1.1 warp dari cloudflare coba"
"@liaaurielle coba pake Cloudflare WARP"
"@stolinski big fan of tailscale, but curious if you tried setting up the private networking in cloudflare, before moving away from tunnels? i think warp + private routes would have given you a similar outcome (no public endpoints)"
"@n30n5223434 I'm having the same issue with Cloudflare WARP. Proton kinda works but it doesn't have tunneling..."
"@ViscoseOCE @m2narcS My friend in au gets 110-120 in Tokyo and my friend in Oregon also gets 110 to Tokyo. Riley’s ping seems fine but have u tried using cloudflare’s warp to change the routing cuz that might be the issue"
"@Supahdenning Cloudflare WARP. But that's not a modded client."
"@levelsio Can just configure cloudflare zero trust with split tunneling for your warp client tunnel Team&resources >devices>device profile"
"@audreyfeldroy @grok It still works with a free VPN like Cloudflare's or Proton's ;)"
"@RustyBertrand @GenXGirl1994 @GovMikeHuckabee @TheMediaLine It's happened to me before but don't worry. Remember to let Windows Defender do a FULL scan on your pc. It will take a couple hours but works as well. Also use CCleaner and Cloudflare WARP, reset your internet connection every few hours, keep the Faith, and good luck!"
"@tearsofselune it sucks SOOOOOO bad but i was told to install cloudflare warp last night after my like 4th dc and the game remained stable for me afterwards >_> it might help"
"@llamatodd This is why you can fix it by using Cloudflare Warp or a VPN."
"hey you know how I was gonna stream tonight but uhhhh i dont think OBS likes cloudflare warp *staring at white screen*"
"@Deneytra @amoraxiv ...who pay. If you defend SE's inaction on the NA disconnection issues, you quite honestly don't understand actual issue well enough to comment on it. Cloudflare WARP also WILL NOT fix the issue, it will only help mitigate it."
"@amoraxiv But i'm not, that's just not their responsability, honestly lol, it's well documented, if you use Cloudflare Warp, It disappears."
"@ryanpves @unusual_whales @JournalismPopal use cloudflare warp when it happens"
"dear @claudeai desktop, i can't use @Cloudflare warp while claude desktop is running, weird but it should not be happening i think. sincerely https://t.co/e7VGjl3QiL"
