Cloudflare Warp is a great tool for protecting your internet connection and keeping your data secure. It uses a system of policy modes to determine which traffic to route through the Cloudflare network. By default, Cloudflare Warp is set to "Exclude" mode, which means that it will not route any traffic through the Cloudflare network. However, you can change this setting to "Include" mode, which will route all traffic through the Cloudflare network. In this article, we will show you how to change Cloudflare Warp's policy modes from "Exclude" to "Include" using the Cloudflare Warp CLI.
What are Cloudflare Warp Policy Modes?
Cloudflare Warp has two policy modes: "Exclude" and "Include". In "Exclude" mode, Cloudflare Warp will not route any traffic through the Cloudflare network. This is the default setting for Cloudflare Warp. In "Include" mode, Cloudflare Warp will route all traffic through the Cloudflare network. This can provide an additional layer of security for your internet connection, as well as help to improve your connection speed and reliability.
Why Change Cloudflare Warp Policy Modes?
There are a few reasons why you might want to change Cloudflare Warp's policy modes. For example, if you are experiencing connection issues or slow speeds, switching to "Include" mode may help to improve your connection. Additionally, if you want to ensure that all of your traffic is routed through the Cloudflare network for added security, switching to "Include" mode is the way to go.
