What the Community Says

Community Rating 7.5/10

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.

Strengths

  • Fast, stable connection
  • Helps with gaming disconnects and routing issues
  • Simple to set up on phones and PCs
  • Good basic encryption without “location hopping”

Weaknesses

  • Doesn’t work with some websites and apps
  • Not a reliable streaming VPN
  • Censorship bypass can be slow or inconsistent
  • Customer support reputation is rough
Best for: Gamers who want fewer disconnects and smoother routing People who want a simple, mostly set-and-forget VPN-style connection Users who mainly want encrypted traffic on public Wi‑Fi without caring about changing locations
Not ideal for: People who need a VPN that works consistently with streaming services Anyone who needs dependable censorship bypass in restrictive networks Users who rely on finicky apps (like certain streaming/recording tools) and can’t troubleshoot issues

"@Simonblox Hey Simoon, first of all welcome to Türkiye. Second of all I recommend you that you should use Warp made by Cloudflare to get yourself saved from it."

"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."

"...loudflare options can be a bit of a head scratcher in setting up, Cloudflare especially. Think the Cloudflare Warp VPN is still free for mobile devices, don't think they offer it for streaming boxes and TVs."

"@zyablikheh @TimSweeneyEpic It varies by region. Here AWS and Cloudflare are blocked (AWS partially). Because of this, most servers give errors 1, 2, and 5 during matchmaking. Usually you can play 1–2 games, then you must restart or use anti-DPI tools, or WARP, VPN, ExitLag."

"... feel everyone doing the races will be using a circumvent to get around the servers like exitlag or cloudflare warp"

"nope, i've had 5 vpns before the outage and none of them work anymore. just windscribe and some random v2ray configs. their stealth protocol works while proton's and other ones don't anymore. also the outage is still in place (you can check..."

"It seems like all connections to Asian servers not using CDN caches like Cloudflare are affected. I speak Japanese and cant access my Japanese news sites anymore either. Login servers are in Japan, your European data center is not."

"...easy to circumvent any such legislation. If they try then many VPN providers will move to a different model that shifts responsibility. Then there's cloudflare warp, etc... which we'll just build into end user solutions that can be installed from the App Store (I think some people in Iran have done something similar already). So many ways around it, all of which can easily be bundled into end-us..."

"@mirzazaid92 @ProtonVPN @ProtonMail Use cloudflare WARP 1.1.1.1 VPN. Didn't worked for me. I complained and sent them the traceroutes. Proton VPN will work with Stealth protocol, as for proton mail and proton pass, use cloudflare VPN"
