The WARP client allows organizations to have granular control over the applications an end user device can access. The client forwards DNS and network traffic from the device to Cloudflare's global network, where Zero Trust policies are applied in the cloud. On all operating systems, the WARP daemon maintains three connections between the device and Cloudflare:
| WARP tunnel ([via WireGuard or MASQUE](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/warp-settings/#device-tunnel-protocol)) | UDP | Send IP packets to Gateway for network policy enforcement, HTTP policy enforcement, and private network access. |

|[DoH](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-over-tls/)| HTTPS | Send DNS requests to Gateway for DNS policy enforcement. The DoH connection is maintained inside of the WARP tunnel. |

## How WARP works

WARP is a lightweight device client, which builds proxy tunnels using either Wireguard or MASQUE, and builds a DNS proxy using DNS-over-HTTPS. WARP supports all major operating systems, all common forms of endpoint management tooling, and has a robust series of management parameters and profiles to accurately scope the needs of a diverse user base.

It provides a simple control panel to manage WARP's [status](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/troubleshooting/connectivity-status/) and [settings](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/warp-settings/).

- WARP daemon (or service): Core background component responsible for establishing secure tunnels (using technologies like WireGuard or MASQUE) and managing all interactions with Cloudflare's network. It ensures traffic is securely directed and policies are enforced.

WARP offers flexible [operating modes](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/warp-modes/) to suit your specific needs. WARP can control device traffic as a full proxy, manage only DNS traffic as a DNS proxy, or both. WARP is the most common method for sending user device traffic through Cloudflare Gateway for filtering and decryption.
