Was more pointing out the numbered hostname, not the service its-self. 16777217 is just the lowest number that corresponds with a routed IP address :)

It's not. 1 is (0.0.0.1)

You can also try my tool online which obfuscate an ip address. https://wannabe1337.xyz/text-ipobfuscator

Is there a legitimate reason why to obfuscate an ip address?

To get around something that is otherwise blocking it? Seems useful as part of, for example, pentesting.

Not working in FF (Desktop stable, win)

there's a dot at the end of the url when you click on it which breaks it

RFC 1034 A fully qualified domain name must have a final dot/period after the tld. Adding the dot to a address that isn't resolved via DNS seems to be confusing the lookup.

Edit: leaving the above despite being untrue save semantically. inet_atom just wants byte order addresses dot separated and adding a trailing dot isn't anticipated and returning a error.

Warp bypassed government blocked sites in my country (the UK - which blocks RT.com as part of war efforts). I'm not sure how long they'll be able to run such a service till the government tells them they have to implement site blocking.

does switching to DoH works for you?

No - the sites are blocked by IP address and give ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when attempting to access them.

The UK is fighting a losing battle. Right now they snoop SNI headers and terminate connections to banned websites. But ECH is ready to be rolled out

Having the source won't help you in any practical way to verify the security of this online service. The app is just a relatively simple connector to a VPN. You need to trust the service/its operator, and at that point you might as well trust that app too.

> OK, fantastic, so instead of handing my ISP all my data, I hand it to ... you?

Exactly right and fantastic indeed. You have to hand it to someone at some point. Having a choice and choosing something like Warp sounds much better than handing out my data to any random unknown ISP wherever I connect to a wifi (especially if I am visiting foreign countries with somewhat harsher network tracking laws) - and some people don't trust their home ISP too but don't have other options.

I'm happy for you that you have a trustable ISP with good opsec who won't betray you. Not everyone does.

They said "safer" not "perfectly safe".

$ man 3 inet_aton […] inet_aton() converts the Internet host address cp from the IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation into binary form (in network byte order) and stores it in the structure that inp points to. inet_aton() returns nonzero if the address is valid, zero if not. The address supplied in cp can have one of the following forms: a.b.c.d Each of the four numeric parts specifies a byte of the address; the bytes are…

This is just a convention from BSD, and is not even POSIX compliant. However, 'ping 1.1' is a convenient shortcut (actually pings 1.0.0.1). iproute2 and systemd do not use inet_aton and don't follow this BSD4.2 convention and instead parse it as '1.1.0.0' or not at all.

(Not to pick on your particular comment, but to highlight a broader issue.)

I feel like convenient shortcuts are becoming hugely inconvenient when a system has hundreds of them. The unlimited amount of unix non-orthogonal options made "for convenience" cannot scale mentally.
