How to Stream Netflix & Disney+ on a VPS That Can’t Unlock Full Episodes — Xray + Cloudflare Warp

TL;DR: If your VPS can’t reliably unlock full episodes on Netflix or Disney+, you can route streaming into Cloudflare Warp using Xray ≥1.6.5 WireGuard outbound. This provides a clean, cost-effective exit path that often improves unblocking success compared with direct VPS exit IPs. Tested on Debian 12.9 with a DMIT LAX.EB.INTRO VPS. Includes wgcf
setup, Xray JSON snippets, routing rules, cron updates for geosite.dat
/geoip.dat
, validation, and troubleshooting.
Why this approach
- Streaming-focused: Many budget VPS IPs are flagged by streaming providers. Warp provides “clean” exit IPs that can improve success when unblocking Netflix and Disney+.
- Security: Routing sensitive return traffic through Warp reduces exposure to interception on transit nodes.
- Cost & simplicity: Instead of buying specialized unblock VPSes, use Warp (free option) plus Xray’s WireGuard outbound to centralize routing and keep costs down.
- Maintainability: With
geosite.dat
/geoip.dat
and Xray routing, you get flexible, updatable domain/IP controls.
This is not guaranteed to bypass every provider’s detection. Always test individual services and respect their Terms of Service.

1. Prerequisites
- Debian 12.9 VPS (example: DMIT LAX.EB.INTRO 1C/1G/10GB/500GB @ 1Gbps)
- Xray version ≥1.6.5
curl
,systemd
, basic shell tools- Basic WireGuard key familiarity
2. Install wgcf
(Warp client helper)
wgcf
registers and generates a WireGuard profile for Warp.
# download wgcf binary and make executable
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/wgcf \
https://github.com/ViRb3/wgcf/releases/download/v2.2.29/wgcf_2.2.29_linux_amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wgcf
# register and generate wg profile (interactive)
wgcf register
wgcf generate
# expect a generated wgcf-profile.conf with keys and endpoint info
Security: Treat generated keys as secrets. Use secretKey
(private) in Xray and publicKey
(peer) as needed.
3. Xray WireGuard outbound (server)
Add a WireGuard outbound to /etc/xray/config.json
. Replace placeholders with your keys.
{
"outbounds": [
{
"protocol": "wireguard",
"settings": {
"secretKey": "<YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY>",
"address": [
"172.16.0.2/32",
"2606:4700:110:8949:fed8:2642:a640:c8e1/128"
],
"peers": [
{
"publicKey": "<WARP_PUBLIC_KEY>",
"endpoint": "engage.cloudflareclient.com:2408"
}
],
"reserved": [0, 0, 0]
},
"tag": "wireguard-warp"
}
/* other outbounds as needed */
]
}
Notes:
secretKey
: your WireGuard private key (fromwgcf generate
).publicKey
: Warp peer public key (from profile).endpoint
: commonlyengage.cloudflareclient.com:2408
.
4. Routing rules (recommended)
Use domainStrategy: "IPIfNonMatch"
and force streaming domains/geoip groups to wireguard-warp
.
{
"routing": {
"domainStrategy": "IPIfNonMatch",
"rules": [
{
"type": "field",
"domain": [
"reddit.com",
"geosite:cn",
"geosite:disney",
"geosite:netflix",
"geosite:cloudflare"
],
"outboundTag": "wireguard-warp"
},
{
"type": "field",
"ip": [
"geoip:cn",
"geoip:cloudflare",
"geoip:cloudfront",
"geoip:netflix"
],
"outboundTag": "wireguard-warp"
}
]
}
}
Tip: geosite
groups (e.g., geosite:netflix
) reduce maintenance overhead vs enumerating CDN hosts.
5. Keep geosite.dat
/ geoip.dat
updated
Schedule a daily updater to avoid stale rules and false positives.
cat >/usr/local/bin/update-xray-dat <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
set -e
DST="/usr/local/bin"
mkdir -p "$DST"
curl -fsSL -o "$DST/geosite.dat" \
"https://github.com/Loyalsoldier/v2ray-rules-dat/releases/latest/download/geosite.dat"
curl -fsSL -o "$DST/geoip.dat" \
"https://github.com/Loyalsoldier/v2ray-rules-dat/releases/latest/download/geoip.dat"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/update-xray-dat
# add cron job (crontab -e)
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/update-xray-dat >/dev/null 2>&1
6. Deploy & validate
1. Restart Xray:
sudo systemctl restart xray
2. From a client behind your Xray server, test streaming sites (Netflix, Disney+). Confirm the public IP is a Warp IP:
curl ifconfig.me
# or
curl ipinfo.io/ip
3. Verify Xray access logs show the wireguard-warp
tag:
# watch Xray access.log for wireguard-warp entries
sudo tail -f /var/log/xray/access.log | grep '"outboundTag":"wireguard-warp"'
If streaming requests appear with the wireguard-warp
tag, traffic is being routed through Warp.
7. Troubleshooting checklist
-
No WireGuard handshake / no traffic
- Verify keys (no extra whitespace).
- Ensure UDP port 2408 (endpoint) is reachable.
-
Traffic not hitting Warp
- Confirm rule ordering — earlier rules may preempt.
- Ensure
geosite.dat
/geoip.dat
are readable and current.
-
Streaming still blocked
- Providers evolve detection—test different
geosite
groups and CDN IPs. - Try different Warp exit points (Cloudflare decides exit location).
- Providers evolve detection—test different
-
Debugging
- Increase Xray
loglevel
todebug
temporarily:
{ "log": { "access": "/var/log/xray/access.log", "error": "/var/log/xray/error.log", "loglevel": "debug" } }
- Increase Xray
8. Security & operational notes
- Do not commit Warp keys or config files to public repos.
- Monitor performance; streaming-heavy traffic via Warp can trigger provider-side limits.
- Periodically update Xray and
wgcf
for security and compatibility. - Respect streaming services’ Terms of Service.
