Why is my ping so high for Valorant while using Cloudflare Warp?
Asked by

I'm gaming on a network that has a firewall in place, so I use Cloudflare Warp to get around it. When I play games like Rocket League, my ping remains around 40. However, with Valorant, my ping skyrockets to over 1000. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix it?

Cloudflare acts like a VPN, and sometimes it can add latency rather than reduce it. I also wonder why you need to bypass the firewall. Free VPNs like Cloudflare Warp have their limitations and may not work well with every game. Is there a reason why a paid VPN like Windscribe is not an option for you?

Unfortunately, high ping can be tricky to deal with. It usually reflects how long it takes for your data to travel to the server and back. If Cloudflare Warp is routing you a longer way, that could be causing the issue. If possible, try selecting a different server in the game settings to see if that helps.
