Download

You can find pre-compiled binaries on the releases page.

Usage

Run wgcf in a terminal without any arguments to display the help screen. All commands and parameters are documented.

Register new account

Run the following command in a terminal:

wgcf register

The new account will be saved under wgcf-account.toml

Generate WireGuard profile

Run the following command in a terminal:

wgcf generate

The WireGuard profile will be saved under wgcf-profile.conf. For more information on how to use it, please check the official WireGuard Quick Start.

To send periodic packets that keep NAT mappings alive, use the optional keepalive flag:

wgcf generate --keepalive       # defaults to 25 seconds
wgcf generate --keepalive=60    # uses the specified interval

This adds PersistentKeepalive to the profile's [Peer] section. The setting is omitted by default.

Maximum transmission unit (MTU)

To ensure maximum compatibility, the generated profile will have a MTU of 1280, just like the official Android app. If you are experiencing performance issues, you may be able to improve your speed by increasing this value. For more information, please check #40.

Add a license key

If you have an existing Warp+ subscription, for example on your phone, you can bind the account generated by this tool to your phone's account, sharing its Warp+ status. Please note that there is a limit of 5 maximum devices linked at a time. You can remove linked devices from the 1.1.1.1 app on your phone.

[!CAUTION] Only subscriptions purchased directly from the official 1.1.1.1 app are supported. Keys obtained by any other means, including referrals, will not work and will not be supported.

First, get your Warp+ account license key. To view it on Android:

1. Open the 1.1.1.1 app
2. Click on the hamburger menu button in the top-right corner
3. Navigate to: Account > Key

Now, back to wgcf.

[!WARNING] There's a bug on Cloudflare's side that prevents existing accounts from getting Warp+ even after you bind a correct license key. If you have ever connected to Warp VPN, then your account is affected. You will need to make a new account via:

wgcf register

Then immediately proceed with the steps below, without running any other commands. For more details, check !85

Run the following commands:

wgcf update --license-key "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE"
wgcf generate

Check device status

Run the following command in a terminal:

wgcf status

Verify Warp/Warp+ works

Connect to the WireGuard profile generated by this tool, then run:

wgcf trace

If you look at the last line, it should say warp=on or warp=plus, depending on whether you have Warp or Warp+ respectively.

[!WARNING] If you're seeing warp=on even after you bound a Warp+ license key, you are likely experiencing a known bug, please refer to the Add a license key section.

Development

The API client code is auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec openapi-spec.yml and stored under the openapi/ package. Do not touch any code under that package, instead, change the spec file and regenerate the API client code. To do this, install openapi-generator, then run:

go generate
