Would be nice if we could override the DNS. Currently use a pihole that already uses 1.1.1.1 and loosing the adblocker is a deal breaker.

Is Warp just a VPN, or is that different?

How does this compare to Private Relay? I’ve noticed most of the traffic goes through CF (where I live anyway)

Private relay only works with safari.

People committing several crimes are subject to denial of service. But yours is not a surprising position from someone trying to greentext here.

If you use Apple relay service is this still relevant?

There’s no reason to believe this. This is the same company that publicly stated their principled position relating to the culture of free speech and then flip-flopped not even 3 days later.

It’s not about that issue but rather that this company has lost credibility and should not be trusted with any promises. Keep at arms length.

‘eastdakota: How would you candidly compare guarantees/expectations of Mullvad VPN vs your Cloudflare Warp VPN with respect to: - privacy, but also - performance. As a side note, I really value using a certain popular torrent box VM service for $10/mo is that they provide SSH and OpenVPN. I’ve used that VPN a lot when I worked in GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain) to help me get around national HTTP blocklist…

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

Potentially just ignorance, I’m aware of wirefuard and I use their client for my MacBooks but I haven’t taken time to investigate any of the differences, pros, or cons. Will do that now, thank you for prompting me!

I’ve been a Warp+ user for some time now and I’m mostly happy. My online privacy is important to me. I use ad blockers too in addition to cloudflare. A couple of things I’ve noticed along the way… 1. Switching off my wi-fi network and then rejoining later used to be an issue but seems to have resolved some time ago (mobile) 2. It seems on macOS that almost every time I login I need to update the client. 3. Usually si…

Cloudflare Warp is not meant for anonymity. If you're using the free tier (and maybe the plus tier too?), websites behind Cloudflare are able to see your origin IP.

Why do they want to add all our traffic to their backbone?

Same reason as they offer free TLS termination. Someone is paying for all of that unencrypted and/or de-anonymized traffic across an increasingly large portion of all internet activity.

Any source for that disparaging claim?
