![]() WARP encrypts your traffic and the DNS queries., meaning your network remains secure, and your Internet Service Provider cannot spy on your activities. It uses a UDP-based protocol that fits perfectly for smartphones and works fine for desktops as well.įor some, it can be a replacement for a VPN for others, it may not be a suitable option. I do believe that they are using the metrics for their networking infrastructure and to provide their other services, but it is still only going by privacy policy and faith - not every company is run by a levar levison type with morals and conviction to do the right thing.WARP encrypts your network and optimizes it for the best speed. Still a useful networking tool though - and running it on a wireguard client is obviously much better from a privacy perspective than using their app which is constantly reporting metrics. If you are in the US then WARP is clearly an improvement on ISP ToS which can include injecting adverts and flat out selling your data.įor others in the world it is a little more nuanced. I think the more concerning part is that it is a US company subject to NSLs. I think that their core business does have a coincidental benefit that allows them to offer something for ‘free’ without monetising it directly and selling information on the sly. They say they keep logs for 2 days and ‘anonymised’. They benefit much more if you use the app however and not a standard wireguard client - the app is basically a network testing node that provides networking analytics to cloudflare. If you don’t pay for WARP then you do only get the minimum usage of their network and the costs on their infrastructure is really minimal. Yeah that’s definitely one way of looking at it. If you are just at home, then a regular paid VPN is still a probably a better choice. It’s useful for gl-inet devices for using fast wireguard encryption on public or mobile networks for absolutely free of cost. Honestly though, I really doubt that there is much space for going too crazy with this - it doesn’t hide your IP at all - it only encrypts your first hop to cloudflare network and then they MITM any connections to cloudflare sites to introduce some performance tweaks (as far as I understand). Perhaps if you believe to have found a vector for abuse you could send it in to their bug bounty program? Regardless, they will release WARP for desktop I believe so I’m sure they’re not really worried about non-mobile use of their services.Ī lot of their algo stuff (if you’ve ever played with cloudflared) is also pretty easy to use on many different systems so in some respects they are pretty open already. Oh sorry I think that i didn’t quite understand - thought you were just referring to transferring paid accounts. ![]() ![]() To use it like stated isn’t abuse and not illegal or anything, to use it as user is probably almost anywhere legally totally fine. No need to worry about anything sorry if it seemed this way but I try not to incentivize people to abuse it. I said that since I hope that the described on Github continuously works and won’t be abused. ![]() You could do stuff with that which is rather not discussed, which you could theoretically also do with any other similar service. ![]()
