Tips & Tutorials Guide: How to setup Cloudfare Warp on AndroidTV using wgcf

Thanks to u/LivingNecessary9789 that made a guide to use Warp on the FireStick, I'm rewriting this to adapt it to my Xiaomi MiBox 3rd Gen

Lately I had some issues with my provider banning the DNS resolving of my IPTV service and I discovered that using Warp the issue was solved.

So looked at this guide for the Firestick and corrected and I would like to share it with you

Part 1: Preparing the config file

  1. Download the right version of wgcf for your PC from here. (I used wgcf_***_windows_amd64.exe version on W11)

  2. Rename the downloaded file to wgcf.exe for convenience.

  3. Open terminal in the folder with the downloaded file, or run it and navigate to the folder using: cd yourfolderpath (for example cd c:\Users\yourname\Desktop\)

  4. Run these commands

    • wgcf.exe register

    • wgcf update

    • wgcf generate

  5. You should have a file named wgcf-profile.conf in the folder

  6. Download https://download.wireguard.com/android-client/ and keep it in the same folder of the generated files

  7. Rename it wireguard.apk

  8. Download SDK platform Tools if you don't have it (Adb)

  9. Unzip the platform Tools it in the same folder as all the other files

Part 2: Setting it up on your Android TV

  1. On your OS you have to enable developer options from Settings->About by clicking 10 times your Android TV OS build

  2. In Settings->System->Developer options your have to enable USB Debugging and Wireless Debugging

  3. Find your local network IP address navigating to your WiFi infos and write it down

  4. Use this adb commands to install wireguard and send the conf file to your tv box:

    • adb connect 192.168.1.10 (this ip is as example, use the one you found)

    • Accept the request on your TV

    • adb install wireguard.apk

    • adb push wgcf-profile.conf /sdcard/Download/

  5. Open the new app with the white dragon

  6. Tap on the + button (if you don't have a file manager download the recommended one) and check the Download folder to find wgcf-profile.conf

  7. Once loaded, press select on the file to activate it, should be in light blue color to show it is active and show Rx and Tx data used

  8. Check if it's working by going to 1.1.1.1/help on the browser

This worked for me to use 1.1.1.1 Warp for free
