Need cloudflare warp vpn but does not work at all!

As a person that lives in a restricted country many sites are unreachable even sites like twitter! so i used to use cloudflare warp but now in arch i am not seem to be able to use it at all. Used in other distros and windows but cant use it on hyprland i fixed up everything i needed but it seems i cant get the hang of this sadly.
Downloaded cloudflare warp on "yay -S cloudflare-warp-bin" when i open it first it tells me daemon isnt running which after that i enable it like "sudo systemclt start warp-svc.sevice" which works but when i try to connect even tho it says success it does not work at all. To see if i actually connected it seems i did not to see it i used this

Re: Need cloudflare warp vpn but does not work at all!

even tho it says success it does not work at all

Can you elaborate on this a little bit? Do you have network connection at all when it's connected or does it break it completely? Additionally, what are you using for network configuration?

How did you set up networking? Arch doesn't do it automatically. It could be networkmanager, dhcpcd, systemd-networkd, iwd, wpasupplicant or many others (though the last two are for wifi only)

i used archinstall and because i had ethernet i didnt do anything but on my laptop i used to use iwd rn i am using a preinstalled one called meowrch(not networking name) on my pc my motherboard doesnt support wifi tho i can only use ethernet which i do it is possibly networkmanager tho

Your config files aren't relevent here.

That's because Arch automatically configures your ethernet device when booted into the live CD, that is not the case for your installed system. I've never used archinstall so I'm not sure exactly how it configures networking. If you're completely in the dark you can run pacman -Q and post the result.

i looked at pacman -Q which came back with a few results it it showed me iwd, wpasupplicant and networkmanager

Okay so you're using networkmanager, since the other two are for wifi configuration. I assume you're using DHCP since you've never done any manual network configuration. Is the cloudflare app a GUI or a terminal app? What makes you think the vpn isn't working?

first of all there is no gui and second of all the websites which are restricted arent opening which they all did on windows also when running curl https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace/ it shows me that warp and gateway is off

Run warp-cli mode --help and try switching between the modes if you haven't already. I've never touched this app so I'm just reading the (very minimal) documentation.
