WARP Modes
The WARP client has several modes to suit different connection needs.
DNS Only
Formerly known as 1.1.1.1. Routes only DNS queries through Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 resolver — does not tunnel device traffic. DNS queries are always encrypted:
· DNS only (HTTPS) – DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)
· DNS only (TLS) – DNS-over-TLS (DoT)
Traffic and DNS
Formerly known as 1.1.1.1 with WARP. Uses MASQUE to encrypt and send traffic directly to Cloudflare's global network. All traffic tunneled over MASQUE is encrypted with post-quantum cryptography.
Three flavors:
· Traffic and DNS (UDP) – All traffic routed through WARP, DNS uses UDP inside tunnel
· Traffic and DNS (TLS) – All traffic routed through WARP, DNS via DoT
· Traffic and DNS (HTTPS) – All traffic routed through WARP, DNS via DoH
Warning: WARP does not provide anonymity, nor does it allow you to pretend to be accessing the Internet from a different country.
Traffic Only
All device traffic is routed through WARP, but DNS resolution remains managed by the device operating system.
Local Proxy (Desktop clients only)
Only applications configured to use the proxy (HTTPS or SOCKS5) send traffic through WARP. Enable via Preferences > Advanced > Configure Proxy.
Note: WARP+ Unlimited is a paid monthly subscription available via iOS/Android app stores. License key works on up to five devices.
