Unable to connect to Cloudflare Tunnel with WARP client

I have cloudflared running on a Docker container. I have a Zero Trust WARP client running on the host machine. I have added the IP addresses of the Docker network subnets to be excluded in the split tunnel. However, I am still unable to connect to the Cloudflare Tunnel. I know it is the WARP client that is causing the issue because when I turn it off I am able to establish a connection with the Cloudflare Tunnel. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Been seeing issues like this too as of late, but with a different context (weird intermittent timeouts)

This issue isn’t an intermittent one. It’s a known issue that WARP client will interfere with cloudflared Cloudflare Tunnel. The fix is to use split tunnels and to add the IP address to exclude, which I have done, but for whatever reason it’s still not working. @SuperHelpflare can I get help on this issue?

@SuperHelpflare I have clouflared Cloudflare Tunnel running in a Docker container on my Mac host machine. I have Cloudflare Zero Trust WARP client running on my Mac host machine. This client is blocking my Cloudflare Tunnel. I used a Split Tunnel and excluded the IP address of the Docker container and network. However, it’s still not working.

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the Cloudflare WARP client blocking your Cloudflare Tunnel, despite configuring a Split Tunnel to exclude the Docker container's IP address and network. To troubleshoot this issue, I'd like to clarify a few things: 1. Can you confirm that you've added the correct IP address and network to the Split Tunnel exclusion list? You can check the IP address of the Docker container by running the command docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container_name> in your terminal. 2. Have you checked the WARP client logs to see if there are any error messages or indications of why the traffic is being blocked? You can find the WARP client logs in the ~/.cloudflare-warp/logs directory on your Mac. 3. Are you using the Include or Exclude mode for the Split Tunnel? If you're using Include, make sure that you've added the correct domains or IP addresses to the include list. If you're using Exclude, ensure that you've excluded the correct IP addresses and networks. 4. Have you tried restarting the WARP client and the Docker container after configuring the Split Tunnel? Additionally, you can try checking the Cloudflare documentation on Split Tunnels for WARP to ensure that you've configured it correctly: * Split Tunnels If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your setup, including the Docker container configuration and the WARP client settings, and I'll do my best to assist you further.
