What is Cloudflare WARP

What it is

A free encrypted route to the internet through the Cloudflare network. For a server it is a way to send part of the traffic so the hosting provider sees only a connection to Cloudflare.

How we use it

On the VPN node in the Netherlands, torrents and 44 AI-service domains exit through WARP: the hosting provider sees only an encrypted connection to Cloudflare, while ordinary web traffic goes direct, with no captchas.

Where it helps a business

  • VPN users download torrents, and the exit server's hosting provider sends complaints.
  • Some services, such as AI tools, do not open from your server's address.

How we use it

On the standalone VPN route node in the Netherlands, BitTorrent traffic (detected by protocol) and 44 AI-service domains exit through Cloudflare WARP, so the hosting provider sees only an encrypted connection to Cloudflare. Ordinary web traffic goes direct, with no captchas. A leak check showed all 44 torrent client connections going to the WARP container and none directly to peers.

Common problems

  • Torrents are slower. WARP does not accept inbound connections, so torrent speed is lower than direct.
  • Not everything belongs on WARP. Sending all traffic through it brings captchas, so only what needs it goes that way.

When you do not need it

If the VPN is only for reaching your own servers and carries no torrents, a separate exit is unnecessary.
