Wrangler tunnels are faster on Cloudflare WARP

Read as Markdown

Wrangler tunnel works even while on Cloudflare WARP. Theoretically speaking that should be called too many hops, but turns out it is much faster.

How? Cloudflare using prioritised paths. By how much? Almost 50ms.

Without WARP Local - BOM - DEL is 140ms

With WARP Local - BOM [due to WARP] - BOM [<>.trycloudflare.com node] - DEL is 100ms

So, the DEL - BOM - DEL path is being prioritised by Cloudflare on WARP as it picks up the path with the least traffic between DEL [source code running locally] - BOM [destination server] - DEL [my location].

Give a try to Cloudflare WARP and see if you notice this difference yourself.
