So, I'm apparently #161486 on the wait list. Not holding my breath... Sounds interesting though!

I'm trying to join the wait list but it just kicks me back to the join wait list button page after a quick second of spinning wheel. Just does it over and over.

Getting the same thing here

Wonder if we would have a desktop version as well.

Tried VPNs at some point. It was a slower and more error prone Internet experience. For doubtful privacy gains.

It would awesome to have static IPs as well.

Yes. As it says at the end of the post. Desktop clients will be coming soon.

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

Not ideal for performance too, sites/APIs with regional endpoints could then be slower. Understand the privacy impact, could CloudFlare client “anonymize” edns subnet by region-ing the request based on large cloud regions? (rather than actual client subnet)

Awesome missed that!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's WireGuard [1] coupled with tech from our Mobile SDK [2] and (in the case of Warp+) Argo [3] 1- https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun 2- https://blog.cloudflare.com/mobile-sdk-acceleration/ 3- https://www.cloudflare.com/products/argo-smart-routing/

Can the service be used with another Wireguard client (hopefully bundled into Linux distros in the future) without installing Cloudflare’s client software?

We do not currently plan to allow third-party WireGuard clients to connect to the service.

Anyone else get a spinner when clicking "Join the waitlist" and the button to join just reappears again? (iPhone XS, running latest update)

Update: It got sorted out for me and I got my waitlist number after trying again. Now the top banner just shows me my waitlist number.

Happened to me as well, and that’s why I came looking for the canonical post on this topic to see what’s happening. I switched networks and tried, but got no waitlist number. There’s just a message saying I’m on the waitlist and the button to join the waitlist is still visible and enabled.

Now that I see people from Cloudflare have responded, I’ll just wait and see.

> 1. We don't write user-identifiable log data to disk;

That's great... but you do log user-identifiable info? How I read that is "we log things that can identify you but just keep it in memory for X amount of time".

Myself and other privacy-minded folks would like to know more details there, especially as this is a freemium service.
