Does it work in countries like China to bypass their Great Firewall?

Edit: Out of curiosity I searched in some Chinese tech forums. Apparently it works, but it is so slow, not really useful for any serious use.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why use openVPN anymore when you can easily use Wireguard instead?

Not sure what you mean - mullvad supports using wireguard?

Not sure what you mean - he never implied that mullvad didn't support wireguard. He was asking why the original commenter used OpenVPN over wireguard.

So... it's a VPN?

Wireguard VPN. But they disclose your real IP to websites served by Cloudflare, so it’s kind of unusual. I use it to circumvent my country censure.

From https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/known-issues-a... :

> In a number of cases, if the origin site you are communicating with cannot determine who you are and where you are from, it cannot serve locale-relevant content to you (that is, anything related to a customized user experience, such as language or regional configurations). Sites inside Cloudflare’s network are able to see this information. If a site is showing you your IP address, chances are they are in our network. Most sites outside our network, however, are unable to see this information and instead see the nearest egress server to their server. We are working to see if in the future we can find a way to more easily share this information with a limited number of sites outside Cloudflare’s network, where it is relevant to both parties.

Given that Cloudflare has recently announced that a site’s operators promoting doxxing is an acceptable use of that same Cloudflare network (their backtracking on grounds of imminent threats to human life in one situation does not make this any less their policy), I cannot in good conscience promote Warp to anyone.

Sounds like what you want is some regulation for content hosts, isn't it?

I don’t want infrastructure providers to play law enforcement. If they would have had received a court order and acted afterwards, I’d be okay with their decision. But kicking customers for marketing? Meh.

(I had this issue, not sure if its fixed now or I was doing something wrong)

I'm not sure if its related, but I had some DNS resolution when I switched on WARP. I know that 1.1.1.1 is DNS over SSL, some ISP don't like that? I don't remember which applications had issues(guessing it might be steam client, I could be wrong)

Also, never noticed a significant gain in network speed or reliability either. I don't use it anymore, but will give it a try again.

We won't sell your data, ever. "We, the people who make up this company now, but not in the future, PROMISE." I notice they didn't say "we don't keep the data." According to the comments, this is just wireguard. I deployed…

This is a weird criticism. No person can guarantee that some other person in the future will or will not do something.
