If you installed the default Cloudflare certificate before 2024-17-10, you must <a href="#generate-a-cloudflare-root-certificate">generate a new certificate</a> and activate it for your Zero Trust organization to avoid inspection errors. |

You can either install the certificate provided by Cloudflare (default option), or generate your own custom certificate and upload it to Cloudflare. |

Alternatively, Enterprise users can upload and deploy their own [custom certificate](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/user-side-certificates/custom-certificate/). |
