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.

"Everyone I know on NA that's raided so far today using that cloudflare warp thing has gotten zero disconnects. That tool is definitely helping fix what SE couldn't bother"
"...ive in Southeast Asia and play in Asia server. I get consistent 21ms ping. I recommend trying using Cloudflare WARP when playing the game, for me WARP always make the network smoother"
"I had a hunch it was an ISP issue. I was going insane & reinstalled the whole damn game. Thanks for confirming that it's not my computer & bless cloudflare..."
"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"
"haven't been ddos'd once!!! very based cloudflare warp"
"@RathGames Download Cloudflare WARP and use it. It's free and has prevented me from getting disconnected from DDOS."
"...ing issue of the german internet provider Telekom. You can work around this issue by using a VPN. Cloudflare Warp would be a free alternative. You only need to have the VPN active until you are in the character selection screen, then you ..."
"@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."
"@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."
"@BlizzardCS Problem is still activ! i cant join with.. Error : BLZBNTBGS80000011 when i start Cloudflare Warp. i can join the launcher"
"@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"
"... new savage tier for some hour 1 prog with some friends, the fight is a lot of fun. Their ISP is getting wrecked though, if you aren't using a VPN or cloudflare warp you get disconnected every ~30 minutes or so... it's not great. https://t.co/G25SaCNq24"
"@FeristalJ With the ddos happening people found this new vpn that doesn’t dc them much it’s called cloudflare and some found another called warp something 😩😩😂"
"@Simon_Hypixel @_Northernflow_ THIS IS HAPPENING ON HYPIXEL TOO. its really bad, i have to connect via cloudflare warp or sometimes protonvpn to even join the server or use the forums"
"... feel everyone doing the races will be using a circumvent to get around the servers like exitlag or cloudflare warp"
"> 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."
"...re available and unrestricted ? I used Cloudflare WARP to circumvent censorship during my vacation while texting with your bots -sorry, customer support agents-. At least you could have said “We’re incompetent when it comes to geoblocking a..."
"I tried cloudflare warp vpn it helped but it was not efficient like exitlag i was getting 300-400ms ping"
"Yeah, I am debating just getting an ExitLag subscription. I've been using Cloudflare WARP and Proton VPN, but it also doesn't work 100% of the time..."
"Cloudflare warp is 100% required to play final fantasy fourteen i love being ddosed from ffxiv constantly disconnecting from ff xiv grats jp"
