Note: Before installing and setting up the WARP Client, ensure that your device is running Windows 8 or higher. It is not compatible with older operating systems such as Windows 7.
In addition to this, only install Cloudflare WARP on the device(s) you'll be using off-campus. It should not be installed on any campus-side computers.
To comply with mandated requirements in our cyber insurance policy, the campus is implementing Cloudflare WARP to enhance security. Cloudflare WARP is a "Zero Trust" client application that provides secure access to an organization’s applications, data and services. It provides end-to-end protection, similar to a VPN, and is backed by our existing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system. Follow these steps to install and configure the Cloudflare WARP ("Zero Trust") app for Windows.
- Download Cloudflare WARP for Windows from: https://cloudflarewarp.com/
- Go to your Downloads folder and launch the Cloudflare executable to being the installation.
- Once installed, you'll find a gray cloud icon in the system tray next to the date/time. Click this icon.
- Click Next at the What is WARP? prompt.
- Click Accept at the Our Commitment To Privacy prompt.
- Click the settings button (gear icon) and select Preferences from the pop-up menu.
- Click the Account tab and then click Login with Cloudflare Zero Trust.
- Enter "buffalostate" in the Enter your team name box.
- Complete the multi-factor verification when prompted.
- When the Zero Trust pop-up appears, click on the button to toggle it on. When "on" the Zero Trust button will turn blue and say "Connected"; when "off" it will turn gray and say "Disconnected".

- You'll be able to tell that Zero Trust is on because the gray cloud icon in the system tray now appears orange and it will say "Connected".
