The Cloudflare WARP client is designed as a security and speed optimization tool rather than a traditional static-IP VPN.

If your goal is to expose a local server to the internet without a static public IP from your ISP, Cloudflare Tunnel is the "solid feature" you need. It creates a secure, outbound-only connection to Cloudflare, mapping your local service to a persistent hostname (like ://yourdomain.com ) regardless of your local IP changes.
