Can't the same be said about any of the huge hosting companies such as OVH, Hetzner, 1&1, AWS, etc.

And any VPN provider that hosts their servers and routes their traffic through unknown datacenters?

I'd rather trust Cloudflare that has a great track-record (+Public Canary and are on US Privacy Shield), than any random VPN provider.



Trust with what? Warp is specifically designed to reveal your IP address. This is as anti-privacy VPN as a VPN can be. Which is absolutely not surprising coming from a US corporation.


It leaks IP and DNS resolvers.

It's not designed to be anonymous, but it does fully encrypt all traffic coming from your device to the internet, meaning, it's great when you don't want to trust the ISP, public Wifi or even the cell provider with your traffic.


and if you do want to trust CF with your traffic.

be careful what you wish for.


> Warp is specifically designed to reveal your IP address

Your entire IP address or a mask to an approximate location?


Your entire IP address.

> WARP is not designed to allow you to access geo-restricted content when you’re traveling. It will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit.


Maybe I'll feel better if some other company releases a product that directly competes with Warp.


Aren't there a lot of them?

The bigger VPN providers also offer Wireguard and a simple UI (Basically click the map and you're connected).


According to Saurik, Warp IS Wireguard.

Yes, it is a modified version of it. That's why I wrote "also" :)
