Great eye! We haven't figured out how to expose them yet for sites not using Cloudflare. We do have some experience solving this problem for Spectrum [1] we're hoping to lean on. The most important thing to us is users don't expect us to keep their IP private, as that is not the intent of WARP. 1- https://blog.cloudflare.com/mmproxy-creative-way-of-preservi...

Are you going out of your way to forward the original IP to the end recipient? What's the point of that? Is it to support IP authenticated logins or similar?

I'd like an answer to this also!

It sounds like cloudflare spent the time to do away with hiding ip addresses. Actively removing that feature of a VPN, which you should get for free in a wireguard implementation, seems fishy to say the least. Especially since no reasonable explanation for this was given.

A site where mass murders are encouraged to post their killing spree videos? Where hate groups and anonymous cowards promote hate, violence and other ideas? Spare us your "" defense of the indefensible.

What crime did 8chan commit? I don't mean what did they do that you don't like, I mean what actual crime?

Where did I say they created a crime? Perhaps your lust for viewing mass murder in real-time must be slaked by 8chan, but I have no such interest. Nor should it be the go to place to encourage or host such content. Stop being obtuse.

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…

Or host it for free in one of Oracle's cloud 'always free' tier VMs. Disclaimer: I'm an employee

Oracle? Yikes.

Basically we should trust you because you're not facebook. Haven't you personally shut down websites because you don't like their content?

I think sharing sources would help your point.

Although Warp doesn't mask IP addresses, it should be useful for these two use cases: 1) Communicating with insecure websites (HTTP instead of HTTPS) 2) Using unsecured wireless networks (e.g. Wi-Fi at a coffee shop) Beyond these two cases, is there any advantage to using Warp? Does Warp provide any benefits for email (secure IMAP/SMTP), file sharing (BitTorrent), or other protocols?

You forgot your ISP, some collect and resell your activity online

Some yes. In Australia, all are required by law to record "metadata" and retain for several years (5 I think)

I'm in the (likely) target demographic for this (and just signed up for the paid version). I don't care about true anonymity or geo-blocking - what I care about is that Verizon/Comcast both do HEAVY traffic shaping to suit them, not me. I.e. I'm promised "720p" video quality on Netflix when streaming over LTE and yet, for some strange reason that goly gee I can't quite understand (/s) it's never very good and always…

I don't understand how "Warp" would help you in the long run - wouldn't we expect Verizon et. al to treat cloudflare endpoints as "suspect" or "throttle-worthy" ? TOR endpoints are discriminated against by many endpoints and providers - why not Warp endpoints ?

Likely because Warp endpoints are the same as cloudflare endpoints, which also includes a large portion of the web.

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=…

Will this work on Linux?

Great that it's finally launched. I've been on the waitlist for months. That said, I'm very ambivalent about Cloudflare. On the one hand, I love them because they're doing a lot of cool stuff (shoutout to kentonv whose sandstorm project I loved, who works there now), and even own a bit of their stock. On the other hand, them being an infrastructure company but also wading into what travels over their pipes makes me u…

Thanks for the shoutout!

I wish we could have an actual conversation about the 8chan thing, but the public debate is far too emotionally charged for me to touch. :(

Don't lots of smaller hosting providers have DDoS protection? Did you try one of those and find it wasn't good enough?

No, can you link me to some of these "smaller hosting providers [that] have DDoS protection"? In fact, I can't find any matching that description.
