We will never sell your browsing data or use it in any way to target you with advertising data; Is it just me or are these terms super-specific? They can easily be circumvented to achieve real logging, especially at Cloudflare's scale. While I trust Cloudflare as a company, I feel like they're being a bit disingenuous here.

It's at least meant to be the opposite, specific such that you can trust we're making real promises. You can read the full privacy policy here: https://www.cloudflare.com/public-resolver-mobile-privacy/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From personal experience: When coupled with an DNS based ad blocker Wireguard can actually make your internet faster than when not using it. More so on Android than iOS and more so on mobile than fixed, but still feels so much smoother. you can even only forward the DNS requests and not the rest of the data so your home upload speed won't become your bottleneck.

This is precisely my setup, and I couldn't be happier. I have a lot of internal infrastructure including pi-hole, confluence and a number of self-hosted services. WireGuard lets me go anywhere on my laptop and its like I never left home, and I just keep two configurations for when I want to forward only internal IP addresses, or all my traffic.

Any pointers on setup instructions for WireGuard split tunneling on iOS?

Awesome!

I started using 1.1.1.1 last April from the start. Later I decided I want a firewall on my Android phone as well and installed NetGuard. Unfortunately both apps can not run at the same time, because they are both "VPN".

Really hope there are plans for a firewall built into 1.1.1.1 in the future.

dns.google 8888.google 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Oddly https://8.8.8.8 doesn't have a legit cert though (even though the cert for 8888.google does have an IP address alt)

It does I think

  - Certificate[1] info:
   - subject `CN=Google Internet Authority G3,O=Google Trust Services,C=US', issuer `CN=GlobalSign,O=GlobalSign,OU=GlobalSign Root CA - R2', serial 0x01e3a9301cfc7206383f9a531d, RSA key 2048 bits, signed using RSA-SHA256, activated `2017-06-15 00:00:42 UTC', expires `2021-12-15 00:00:42 UTC', pin-sha256="f8NnEFZxQ4ExFOhSN7EiFWtiudZQVD2oY60uauV/n78="
  - Status: The certificate is trusted.

> We built Warp around WireGuard So basically Cloudflare created an app with Cloudflare branding and set up a Wireguard server for everyone. No bad, but just check out the original: https://www.wireguard.com While I am not a big fan of VPNs in general, I have to admit, that Wireguard performs exceptionally well. I tested it a week ago and the added latency is pretty much just the network latency and the bandwidth los…

I'd wager that the Super Secret Plan is geared towards further centralizing the Internet. Preferably on Cloud Flare's infrastructure. This is one part of a tug-of-war that's going on in recent years between Internet network operators and cloud providers, with the cloud providers slowly but surely winning. For better or worse, we are moving away from a distributed Internet composed of many autonomous networks into a f…

Contemplating this makes me happy that HN (among other sites I frequent) doesn't use one of these big providers (though it used to use Cloudflare). May it always stay that way.

Congrats! Just a few days ago you said BoringTun is “not ready to be used in mission critical tasks” [1] — has this changed? [1] https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-ru...

1. This isn't mission critical. It's a free product that comes with no guarantees.

2. They're onboarding people slowly. You can't use it yet without an invitation.

Last time I used 1.1.1.1 DNS I sometimes had problems when visiting bbc.co.uk. It seemed to be trying to look up the domain on cloudflare's service for some reason. Was I the only one to have this problem? Would it be fixed now?

1.1.1.1 doesn't use eDNS and likely never will: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/nitty-gritty-detai... So geo-specific things will break... BBC.com should load though since its for out-of-UK people

just to clarify, CF doesn't support eDNS client subnet - eDNS is implemented.
