Cloudflare Warp SOCKS5 Proxy for Telegram

A professional-grade, self-hosted proxy solution that leverages Cloudflare's Warp infrastructure to provide secure, high-performance connectivity for Telegram and other applications.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

The command-line interface guides you through the setup process with clear instructions.

This solution creates a local SOCKS5 proxy server that routes traffic through Cloudflare's Warp network, providing several key advantages over traditional proxy methods:

🎯 Core Technology Stack

• Cloudflare Warp: Enterprise-grade WireGuard-based VPN infrastructure
• wgcf: Official Cloudflare Warp configuration utility
• sing-box-plus: High-performance universal proxy platform
• Embedded Configuration: Zero-dependency setup with intelligent auto-configuration

🚀 Why Warp-Based Proxy Architecture?

Intelligent Server Selection

Unlike static third-party proxies, our solution automatically connects to the nearest Cloudflare edge server, ensuring optimal latency and throughput based on your geographical location.

Selective Application Routing

Instead of routing all system traffic through Warp (like the official 1.1.1.1 client), this solution provides application-specific proxy routing:

• ✅ Targeted Usage: Only designated applications (e.g., Telegram) use the proxy
• ✅ Bandwidth Optimization: Other applications maintain direct internet access
• ✅ Performance Isolation: No impact on system-wide internet performance
• ✅ Resource Efficiency: Reduced bandwidth consumption and latency overhead

Network Sharing Capabilities

The local SOCKS5 server can be shared across your entire network infrastructure:

• 📱 Mobile Devices: iOS/Android Telegram clients via LAN
• 💻 Multiple Computers: Other devices on the same network
• 🌐 Internet Sharing: Port forwarding for remote access
• 🔧 Simple Configuration: No complex network setup required

✨ Advanced Features

🛡️ Security & Privacy

• End-to-End Encryption: All traffic encrypted through Cloudflare's infrastructure
• Zero-Log Policy: Leverages Cloudflare's privacy-focused network
• Local Processing: Account credentials and configurations stored locally

⚡ Performance Optimization

• Adaptive MTU: Optimized packet size (1280 bytes) for maximum throughput
• DNS Optimization: Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) with intelligent caching
• Connection Persistence: Maintains stable connections with automatic reconnection
• Low Latency: Direct connection to nearest Cloudflare edge servers

🔧 Automation & Usability

Setup Workflow

Phase 1: Environment Preparation

1. Working Directory Management: Automatic path resolution and administrative elevation
2. Component Acquisition: Intelligent download of required binaries from official sources
3. Firewall Configuration: Automatic Windows Firewall exception creation
4. Template Generation: Embedded sing-box configuration template creation

Phase 2: Warp Account Management

1. Account Registration: New Cloudflare Warp account creation (first run only)
2. Configuration Update: Account refresh and profile regeneration
3. Key Extraction: Private key extraction from Warp account configuration
4. Profile Generation: WireGuard profile creation for network connectivity

Phase 3: Proxy Server Deployment

1. Configuration Assembly: sing-box configuration generation with extracted credentials
2. Network Interface Setup: SOCKS5 server binding to localhost:7777
3. UI Generation: Modern HTML configuration interface creation
4. Service Startup: Proxy server initialization with monitoring

Network Configuration

{
  "inbounds": [{
    "type": "socks",
    "listen": "0.0.0.0",
    "listen_port": 7777,
    "users": []
  }],
  "outbounds": [{
    "type": "wireguard",
    "local_address": ["10.0.0.1/32"],
    "private_key": "[AUTO-EXTRACTED]",
    "peers": [{
      "server": "warp_auto",

"listen": "0.0.0.0"  // All interfaces
"listen": "127.0.0.1"  // Localhost only

MTU Optimization

Adjust MTU size for specific network conditions:

"mtu": 1280  // Default optimized value

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

Administrative Privileges

Symptom: "Permission denied" or binding errors Solution: Ensure UAC prompt is approved; manually run as administrator if needed

Firewall Blocking

Symptom: Proxy starts but connections fail Solution: Script automatically configures firewall; manually add sing-box-plus.exe exception if needed

Port Conflicts

Symptom: "Address already in use" errors Solution: Check for existing services on port 7777:

netstat -an | findstr :7777

Download Failures

Symptom: Component download errors Solution: Verify internet connectivity; manually download from:

• wgcf releases
• sing-box-plus releases

Registration Issues

Symptom: Warp account registration fails Solution: Check regional restrictions; retry with different network or VPN

Performance Optimization

Network Latency

• Monitor Connection: Use Telegram's built-in connection quality indicator
• Server Selection: Restart script to potentially connect to different edge server
• MTU Tuning: Experiment with values between 1200-1400

Bandwidth Management

• QoS Configuration: Use router-level QoS for optimal bandwidth allocation
• Connection Limits: Monitor concurrent connections if sharing across multiple devices

🔒 Security Considerations

Data Protection

• Local Storage: All configurations stored locally; no cloud synchronization
• Credential Security: Warp private keys stored securely in local configuration files
• Network Isolation: Proxy traffic isolated from system-wide network activity

Best Practices

• Regular Updates: Periodically run script to update account and configuration
• Network Monitoring: Monitor unusual traffic patterns if sharing proxy
• Access Control: Limit LAN access to trusted devices only
