Since the day I started using Cloudflare Warp, I’ve been noticing an exorbitantly increased data usage which is a significant hit on my limited internet bandwidth allocation. This is regardless of video streaming or file downloads.
As an example, the overall bandwidth usage of an ISO file (2.5 GB) was in excess of 3.5 GB. Likewise, steaming a video at a modest 360/480p consumes way more data than when disconnected to Warp.
I would like to know if this is expected behavior or is something amiss. As far as I’ve checked all the settings on the Warp client are on default. Hoping someone can shed some light.
Thank you for the reply. I’m more than okay with any respectable increase in overhead. But anything in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the actual consumption is a bit of a bummer considering my daily data cap (1.5 GB) .
In the attached video link you can see a short download segment (of Windows ISO) – from 1.01 GB (give or take) to 1.06 GB (roughly 50 MB)–. Yet the actual reported consumption by internet options dialog is approx 100 plus MB – 330,xxx,xxx to 440,xxx,xxx Bytes --.
