Deploying Cloudflare WARP with Fleet

Cloudflare WARP is a secure VPN-like service that encrypts internet traffic and routes it through Cloudflare's network, improving privacy and security without compromising speed.

MacOS

Create custom MDM Config a. Download the example .mobileconfig file b. Tailor the payload with the desired parameters to satisfy your deployment
Upload .mobileconfig to Fleet a. In the Fleet admin console, navigate to Controls b. Select the Team that requires Cloudflare WARP c. Select OS settings > Custom settings d. Select Add profile and upload the .mobileconfig from step 1 e. Select the hosts which require Cloudflare WARP:
- All hosts: Deploys WARP to all hosts in selected Team
- Custom: Deploys WARP to a subset of the hosts in the Team using labels

Note that the payload will be installed on all targeted hosts, but the WARP agent is not yet installed. Proceed to step 3 to complete the process.

Install WARP on hosts a. In the Fleet admin console, navigate to Software b. Select the Team that requires Cloudflare WARP c. Select Add software
- Either add Cloudflare WARP from the Fleet-maintained library or
- Upload a custom .pkg obtained from Cloudflare. If deploying with this approach, WARP will still need to be installed on select hosts via the UI, API or GitOps. Learn more about deploying software from this article.

If using Fleet-maintained app, you can choose to install on hosts automatically or manually. To allow users to install WARP from Fleet Desktop, check the box for Self-service.

Windows

Download the WARP installer for Windows a. Visit the Download page to review system requirements and download the installer for your OS.

Upload WARP installer to Fleet a. In the Fleet admin console, navigate to Software b. Select the Team that requires Cloudflare WARP c. Select Add software > Custom Package and upload the .msi file downloaded from step 1

To allow users to install WARP from Fleet Desktop, select Self-service. (Optional) d. Select Advanced options e. In Install script, replace the default script:

$logFile = "${env:TEMP}/fleet-install-software.log"

try {

$installProcess = Start-Process msiexec.exe `
-ArgumentList "/quiet /norestart ORGANIZATION=your-team-name SUPPORT_URL=https://example.com /lv ${logFile} /i `"${env:INSTALLER_PATH}`"" `
-PassThru -Verb RunAs -Wait

Get-Content $logFile -Tail 500

Exit $installProcess.ExitCode

} catch {
Write-Host "Error: $_"
Exit 1
}

Refer to Cloudflare's deployment parameters for a description of each argument and adjust your script as needed.

Linux

Fleet allows admins to execute custom scripts on Linux hosts. The following example script creates an MDM file and installs WARP on an Ubuntu host:

#!/bin/sh

# Write the mdm.xml file
touch /var/lib/cloudflare-warp/mdm.xml
echo -e "<dict>\n   <key>organization</key>\n   <string>your-team-name</string>\n</dict>
" > /var/lib/cloudflare-warp/mdm.xml

# Add cloudflare gpg key
curl -fsSL https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/pubkey.gpg | sudo gpg --yes --dearmor --output /usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-warp-archive-keyring.gpg

# Add this repo to your apt repositories
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-warp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudflare-client.list

# Install
sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install cloudflare-warp
