1.1.1.1 is a fast and private way to browse the Internet. It is a public DNS resolver, but unlike most DNS resolvers, 1.1.1.1 is not selling user data to advertisers. The implementation of 1.1.1.1 makes it the fastest resolver out there. more info…

There are now official apps for Android and iOS, but for desktops it still “Coming Soon”…

I’m not a fan of waiting… So I found somethings, If you want to use Cloudflare warp on macOS, go to https://github.com/ViRb3/wgcf/releases and download the version you want.

open a terminal and go to directory which you downloaded the file (in my case “wgcf_1.0.6_darwin_amd64”) and rename it to wgcf:

mv wgcf_1.0.6_darwin_amd64 wgcf

Next we gotta make the downloaded file executable:

chmod +x wgcf

Next we gotta register a Cloudflare warp account and generate public/private keys for WireGuard connection:

./wgcf register && ./wgcf generate

there should be two files generated now:

  1. wgcf-profile.toml for the WireGuard profile
  2. wgcf-account.tomlfor the new Cloudflare warp account

Next install WireGuard. Then open it up and click on “+” button at the left bottom > Add empty tunnel or just hit command + n.

copy the contents of wgcf-profile.toml into the panel opened by WireGuard:

Give it a proper name and… that’s it.

Thanks to ViRb3 for this well done repo.

Please tell me if there where any problems throughout this process, and remember to Clap if you were happy with the results, thanks.
