Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you also bosdev? I noticed an identical comment posted under that account before this one.

I was, at one point in my life, a Boston Developer ;). Sadly at least one of those things is no longer accurate. Switched the account so it wouldn't be confusing who was commenting.

That makes sense — I had seen it on my phone under that name and was then surprised when I pulled the link up to share it, although since I'm at 160,606 on the wait-list that hurry was probably unnecessary ;-)

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

It's WireGuard [1] coupled with tech from our Mobile SDK [2] and (in the case of Warp+) Argo [3] 1- https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun 2- https://blog.cloudflare.com/mobile-sdk-acceleration/ 3- https://www.cloudflare.com/products/argo-smart-routing/

Can the service be used with another Wireguard client (hopefully bundled into Linux distros in the future) without installing Cloudflare’s client software?

So, I'm apparently #161486 on the wait list. Not holding my breath... Sounds interesting though!

It's not like it's a line at the DMV...

I'd imagine they'd test the performance with say 100 users, then another 900 to make it a round 1000, then if they see the 1000 users only use 1% CPU, they could just go up to 10000 to see if it uses 10% CPU or just 5%...

And after they figure out how many servers/how much bandwidth they need, they could just bring in e.g. 100K users online at once.

I'm trying to join the wait list but it just kicks me back to the join wait list button page after a quick second of spinning wheel.

Just does it over and over.

We are working to fix that. Sorry you are having trouble.

Anyone else get a spinner when clicking "Join the waitlist" and the button to join just reappears again? (iPhone XS, running latest update)

Sorry about that, there's an issue we're currently dealing with which hits people who had a specific version of the old 1.1.1.1 app and just updated. It should be fixed shortly.

Just so you know you are not alone... I'm Cloudflare's CTO and that happens to me. We are working on it :-)

Edit: It's fixed and I'm on the waitlist.
