If you frequently switch between trusted and untrusted networks, manually toggling your VPN becomes tedious fast.

This guide shows how to automatically connect or disconnect Cloudflare WARP based on your WiFi network name (SSID) using NetworkManager on Linux.

🧠 Why This Matters

Not all networks are equal:

🏠 Trusted WiFi (Home) → You may not need WARP

☕ Public WiFi → You definitely want WARP

🏢 Office networks → Might conflict with VPN routing

Instead of manually toggling WARP every time, we can hook into network state changes and automate it.

⚙️ How It Works

Linux systems using NetworkManager support dispatcher scripts —these are triggered automatically when network events occur (e.g., connecting to WiFi).

We leverage this to:

Detect the current SSID

Apply conditional logic

Toggle WARP via CLI

🔧 Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Ensure WARP CLI is Installed

Make sure warp-cli is available.…
