WARP client is on-ramp only — it establishes outbound connections to Cloudflare but cannot receive unsolicited inbound traffic directly from external networks. However, enrolled WARP devices can communicate with each other via [WARP-to-WARP](/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/warp-to-warp/) using virtual IP addresses, since both devices have active connections to Cloudflare.

+
WARP client is a bidirectional L3 tunnel — it on-ramps device traffic to Cloudflare and can also off-ramp traffic sent to the device's virtual IP address. Any connectivity option that routes traffic through Cloudflare's network (for example, IPsec tunnels, GRE tunnels, CNI, or another WARP device via [WARP-to-WARP](/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/warp-to-warp/)) can initiate connections towards a WARP-enrolled device.
