Just wanted to say Thank You. I could only wish this was released a little sooner, but better late than Never. The Hong Kong people desperately need something like this to avoid ISP monitoring. I wonder if something similar is planned for Windows and Mac? P.S Regarding the 10GB, have been on the waiting list since April 1st, nothing shown up yet.

We're working our way through the waitlist now, hoping to get to everyone today. If you have an up-to-date version of the 1.1.1.1 app running you'll get a push notification when we are ready for you to opt-into WARP.

I was in the waitlist on my old phone but just got a new one, is there any way I can get the 10 GB too?

I just bought a monthly 1.1.1.1 + WARP subscription, and it's slow as hell. Maybe because I'm in Indonesia. But it works just fine with WARP disabled. 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.

I have a 300/300 symmetric connection in Barcelona and only get 80/0.07 Mbps with Warp. The 80 is fine, but what is up with 0.07 Mbps up, and why is it so jittery?

EDIT: Anyone in Barcelona want to go axe throwing in an hour?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There have been some instances of this before; at least one game was implemented in Rust. But, given the length of the Warp waitlist, I'm pretty sure this is the most popular application so far. There could be things I don't know about though, at this point Rust is big enough that not everyone who uses it talks about it publicly.

Isn't Firefox using at least some Rust on the Android version?

I forget the status of that, you may be right! That'd be a large deploy too. The intention was to do that, for sure, I'm just not sure if it shipped or not.

Love Warp, I was lucky enough to get into their Beta program via Testflight and it's been great and stable. many times I disabled it thinking my internet is broken because of Warp VPN and turns out to be my provider or wifi that is just down.

I wish they provided a desktop version, or at least to change all the traffic from my central MikroTik router to use Warp.

Someone’s already got it working on macOS: https://twitter.com/saurik/status/1176893448445558784

Fast work indeed, the meat of it:

(registering a `wg` generated public key with CF)

    api=https://api.cloudflareclient.com/v0i1909051800
    ins() { vrb=$1; shift; curl -s -H 'user-agent:' -H 'content-type: application/json' -X "${vrb}" "${api}/$@"; }
    sec() { ins "$@" -H 'authorization: Bearer '"${reg[1]}"''; }

    cfg=($(if [[ -e "${usr}" ]]; then
        reg=($(cat "${usr}"))
        test "${#reg[@]}" -eq 2
        sec GET "reg/${reg[0]}"
    else
        reg=($(ins POST "reg" -d '{"install_id":"","tos":"'"$(date -u +%FT%T.000Z)"'","key":"'"${pub}"'","fcm_token":"","type":"ios","locale":"en_US"}' |
            jq -r '.result|.id+" "+.token'))
        test "${#reg[@]}" -eq 2
        echo "${reg[@]}" >"${usr}"
        sec PATCH "reg/${reg[0]}" -d '{"warp_enabled":true}'
    fi | jq -r '.result.config|(.peers[0]|.public_key+" "+.endpoint.v4)+" "+.interface.addresses.v4'))
    test "${#cfg[@]}" -eq 3

This might be interesting to you for running on desktop (its for Mac, but probably can do something similar for Windows?): https://twitter.com/saurik/status/1176893448445558784

The article mentions that WARP is exposing the end user's IP to websites they visit. I'd be interested in how they do that, especially with HTTPS websites where they can't MITM and inject headers. > WARP is not designed to allow you to access geo-restricted content when you’re traveling. It will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit.

Warp doesn't provide anonymity, however, for some reason Netflix in my phone can stream US TV shows with Warp on while my non warped devices can not even list the show. Weird.

Just going to throw this out there for anyone who is hesitant using a vpn managed by another service. You can set up your own easily using the ansible scripts provided by trailofbits, which supports both IPSEC and wireguard. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo a small DO (Digital Ocean) instance is only $5 a month and comes with 1TB outbound bandwidth (last I checked), which ends up being cheaper than most commercial…

On their patreon goal of $1600/month : "We can start working on an easy-to-use mobile app that let people deploy their own VPN server without touching a terminal window." Damn, that would be so cool.

I hadn't heard about that yet. Will have to look into it.

It seems to not be hiding IP, but it does inadvertently(?) do so for some site's detection methods I think. When I did an IP lookup, some sites reported correct while others reported one I didn't recognize (assumed its the one from WARP).

I was openly critical of Cloudflare when they announced Warp the first time. My accusations were over-reaching, and I ultimately retracted them. But I'm still skeptical, and I still won't use Warp. Here's what still bothers me: Cloudflare is a single company with points of presence all over the world, handling traffic for websites all over the world (including some big ones), and now trying to attract consumers world…

Early on in Cloudflare’s history when we were asked who our competition was we said Facebook. The concern was that the challenges of being online would get so hard that individual websites would give up and just move to run Facebook pages. We saw our role as providing the security and performance needed to compete without making you give in to use an all-consuming platform. We haven’t said that in a long time, but I…

I don't have a horse in this race, but observing this back and forth is reminding me of Nietzsche:

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
