Instead of Cloudflare WARP
Cloudflare WARP alternatives
Cloudflare WARP places an optimized connection between your device and the Internet, encrypts more traffic leaving the device, and offers encrypted DNS. Its free plan runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, supports WireGuard, and covers five simultaneous devices. WARP+ adds a larger network with more cities that may reduce latency to a Cloudflare data center. Cloudflare does not provide a consumer price or billing term for its WARP+ options here. WARP also does not support streaming, and its encryption can reduce throughput for some desktop users on high-speed broadband.

Switching makes sense when you need capabilities WARP does not provide, such as streaming, torrent support, a kill switch, more device connections, or a verified no-logs audit. Platform coverage and pricing vary: some alternatives keep a free plan, while others state paid starting prices or trials. Consider location-sensitive services too, because Cloudflare says some apps and sites using location for content licensing may not work properly with WARP. Compare each option's specific features and device limits with your priorities before choosing.
