Why does my CloudflareWARP adapter shows "No internet access" even though everything works?
It has been happening ever since I've been using cloudflare (since a year ago), I thought it was normal as things worked. But recently I found that is not the case on my friend's PC. It has always been annoying since I cannot know if my internet "really" is connected or not unless you move your mouse over the icon in the taskbar.
If anyone knows a fix, please let me know.
I'm on a Windows 11 Home Version 22H2.
Cloudflare Version 2023.7.160.0

Could be because the ping server or so from Windows are blocked or idk. If it's really because of warp then it should be shown as connected after a while as far I know. Windows is just sometimes buggy too

It is definitely because of WARP. We see it on all machines in our business. No issue when WARP is turned off or uninstalled. Only the WARP network interface shows "No internet access".
But is this really such a big problem? Or is there also no Network Connection?
And I meaned it like that that a warp configuration blocked the windows ping server or sp
We roll this out to the entire organization. Can you imagine the confusion for end-users when their operating system tells them that their internet is not working? Remember that not all employees are tech people.
So yes, definitely an issue
Also some Windows applications will fail when the operating system reports no internet.
Even reported by Cloudflare:
However, some apps (Outlook, JumpCloud) may refuse to connect because Windows is reporting there is no Internet connectivity.
