There's also a technical version of this post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/warp-technical-challenges/ I'm hyped to see Rust code running on so many phones.
Just remembered, you now work at cloudflare! I remember reading your blog post about joining cloudflare, so how's it going so far?
Any idea why iOS apps seem to not want to update using Warp? I’ve noticed the same when using other VPNs (including on Android).
I disabled Warp this morning after the Apple App Store wouldn’t update apps.

Really? The arbiters of the internet? You don't think that's maybe a little melodramatic? Cloudflare has, time and time again demonstrated openness, transparency, and insight into their technical and ethical frameworks. I trust them a whole lot more than my isp or any random vpn provider.
> The arbiters of the internet? You don't think that's maybe a little melodramatic? As someone who has browsed sites "powered by cloudflare" over Tor and been tossed into an infinite "are you human" loop, it certainly doesn't feel melodramatic. They've also exercised power over websites based on moral outrage. Perhaps 99.999% of people agree with the morals behind this decision, and maybe it's even the right decision…

> That's clearly stretching the laws of physics, at the very least This is not clear to me. Few mobile users have pings to anywhere pushing up against the speed of light, and the bandwidth/loss/routing is not close to being limited by physics.
No, he's correct here, it's an extra indirection and so overall it can only hurt performance, not improve it. For example, ISPs often have caching servers from Google installed and Google is the biggest traffic generator. If you route traffic through somewhere else you are going to reach different Google's caching servers that are farther away and over more congested links.
Really? The cost of an extra hop is just one of tens (hundreds?) of factors that would determine if using WARP would be faster for a particular scenario.
I'd really like to use this on my computer. The article says it uses the WireGuard protocol, can I just take the private key from my device, put it in a configuration file and use it?
(Not my Twitter account, just saw it on my timeline)
Can someone here give me a layman's rundown of WARP and why I might want to use it on my Android phone?
Warp essentially shields where you are going. The only folks knowing where you go are you, your destination, and Warp.
Warp+ also gives you access to a private, faster network.
I'd perhaps consider Warp+ on a computer or the router, but on the phone it seems a bit overkill. (Though I haven't tried it. So far I haven't received the 10gb Argo credits described, despite being on the waiting list for yonks)
Same here regarding the 10GB, and have been on the wait list since April 1st.
Edit: My 10GB came through. Looks like release day latency.
Another problem is 1.1.1.1 suddenly disconnected when I'm not browsing the internet, like watching videos or reading something on my phone.
Hope you guys fix these problems soon.
