Policy Mode Broken Pages

Hi everyone,

I am using Cloudflare WARP+ via WireGuard on my GL.iNet router (Firmware v4.8.3). I’ve encountered a very specific and strange issue related to Policy Mode:

The Problem:

•	When I use Global Mode, everything works perfectly. All sites load without any issues.
•	When I switch to Policy Mode, some adult sites like xh***.com still work fine, but others like p****.com and xv**.com appear “broken” (CSS doesn’t load, images and videos fail to appear).

Steps I have already taken:

1.	MTU Adjustment: Set to 1280 in the config.
2.	AdGuard Home: Tried disabling it completely; no change.
3.	DNS: Tested with Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and Google (8.8.8.8).
4.	IPv6: Disabled both on the router and in the config.

It seems that in Policy Mode, the router is failing to correctly route the CDN/subdomain traffic for specific sites, even though the main domain loads. This doesn’t happen in Global Mode, which suggests a routing table or policy issue within the firmware.

Has anyone experienced this behavior where Policy Mode breaks specific site assets while Global Mode works fine?

my conf:

[Interface]
Address = 172.16.0.2/32,2606:4700:110:8673:a0ac:a938:7a77:a1ec/128
PrivateKey = [REDACTED]
DNS = 1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1
MTU = 1280

[Peer]
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = engage.cloudflareclient.com:2408
PersistentKeepalive = 25
PublicKey = Xxxx

Hi

This is the expected behavior.

In policy mode, only traffic to the domains you have configured will be routed through the VPN.
If a service also uses additional domains/CDNs, you will need to add those related domains to the list as well.

Thanks, I add a other CDN address, fix it
