It would be really interesting to learn more about the technical details of the "UDP-based protocol" Warp uses

I imagine at some point we'll blog about it, but we've been working with the Neumob technology we acquired and QUIC for some time.

Also, this post is relevant: https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-ru...

It's WireGuard [1] coupled with tech from our Mobile SDK [2] and (in the case of Warp+) Argo [3]

Is there any notable potential for people to use this for abuse? You guys tend to put up captchas for inbound Tor traffic, I assume for similar reasons.

Tor is different. We don't put up CAPTCHAs by default for Tor. We totally changed how we handle Tor years ago. But, because Tor provides anonymity, there is _a lot_ of abuse through it. A lot.

I wonder how well this works when using using wifi on and accessing a corporate intranet. I discovered https://myhrportal didn't work when I pinned my DNS to 8.8.8.8.
