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

"@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."

"> Ddos attacks are a solved problem is just that the only solution requires an unviable amount of resources. They aren't **solved** even then. They're *mitigated*. Say Squeenix borrows a few billion from Nvidia and builds out 4-5 brand ..."

"It’s definitely DDOS attacks, if it were the server itself it wouldn’t spare PS5 and VPN/exitlag/Warp users."

"The Solution The best practice is to never expose your port to the internet. Use tunneling to: 🚫 Block Inbound Ports: Hide 18789 from external scanners. 🕵️ Hide IP: Access your bot via a secure domain, keeping your IP private. 🛡️ DDoS Protection: Leverage Cloudflare’s security."

"@AdamElJefe @AZcountertenor @roegamaniac Probably routes the connection through different servers than the ones being DDoS'd. Apparently Cloudflare Warp does the same."

"Most of this is correct. Thank you. Cloudflare doesn’t sell their infrastructure in the way AWS does. I’d also like to point out that cloudflare also has exceedingly terrible customer service— but Fastly is pretty big in Japan and I ..."
