cloudflare-warp for Ubuntu 22.04, weird behavior
I'm encountering a strange problem when I try to install cloudflare-warp from the pkg.cloudflareclient.com website as the docs advise.
Two things:
1) First, it seems to ONLY launch as Zero Trust, whereas the warp client in every other environment includes a range of options, such as Warp Gateway, Warp with DNS, and Zero-Trust.
2) When installing on Ubuntu, the software appears to manually configure the firewall for ipv6 traffic on ports 565, 566, and 567. Not only is this not mentioned in the docs AT ALL, it appears this isn't even how the other versions of the application (Windows and Android, at least) function, since my firewall blocks those ports, and Cloudflare works on these platforms.
Is the repo poisoned or something? Also, have you all considered putting this on the official APT store, so we don't have to trust a communication channel for the initial signing key? It would be much more secure.

Are those docs not right? I haven't played around with it before, but that says there, that there is commands such as
set-mode and you can just do registration new to register without Zero TrustCloudflare Docs

You have two ways of installing WARP on Linux, depending on the distro you are using:
The ZT team isn't in this discord at all, so as for the offical apt stuff, you could try suggesting that on the community forums where they are
It seems to be exclusively ZT, no warp.
Seems to work for me
I'll have to dig into the cli-only version then
Was using the gui version
changed mode to just DoT
oh there is a gui version? hmm
oh yea looks like the gui version is just for cf teams huh
well I mean you're on Linux, why do you need a gui? ;p
It does say in the docs as well
The command line interface is the primary way to use WARP.still weird for the ui to be split so weirdly though
Well if I have a GUI, I'm gonna start with the GUI :p
No need to trawl through the arcane texts without need. I'm already neck deep in other ancient magiks
Yeah that was my thought
But at least you've confirmed the issue, so there's that
Fixed, install the debian fork, not the ubuntu fork.
I expect this issue to resolve itself when Noble releases. It's unusual for a company to support two forks of the same app, I'm sure it's just something that somebody overlooked.
