Currently I use PIA VPN when browsing. When I go to Cloudflare sites, I often get captchas because, in the past, I imagine someone was using PIA to abuse a Cloudflare site.
So what happens when people start using Warp to hide their IP so they can hack, scan, scrape, upload malware, etc? Is Cloudflare going to show captchas to Warp users and slow down their experience? What is the plan to mitigate abuse on a free VPN that doesn't log?
- programbreeding 8y agoThis is basically answered in a different thread [0]. They said they're passing on the original IP of the person using Warp, so it won't work in the same way as something like PIA in that way.

- dsl 8y agoThat is why Cloudflare wants you to use their VPN rather than an anonymized one. If they can track you, they can have more data about whether to block you.
- jgrahamc 8y agoNope. We want you to use our VPN because we think it'll make your mobile Internet experience better (faster and more secure). That turns into an upsell opportunity to us and makes our core service (which people pay us for) more valuable.
- ignoramous 8y agoDamn. Cloudflare's super nice customer-centric stance on this product is killing me. I quit my FAANG job just this past month to build something similar.
- vxNsr 8y agoOT: What's going on in your profile? is this some sorta custom way to follow other user's posts?
- ignoramous 8y agoJust a reminder to self that I should periodically check comments from those accounts. Pretty much stole it from tptacek's profile.
- vxNsr 8y agoCool thanks! I'm gonna do it too :)
- topranks 8y agoWhy do you refer to this as a VPN? On my phone my web traffic is being sent direct using this, looks like only DNS queries are sent over the VPN tunnel? Is WARP+ the full VPN ?
- jgrahamc 8y agoWe haven't launched Warp yet. What you are seeing is the existing 1.1.1.1 handling just DNS.
- dsl 8y agoSo if I end up at a Cloudflare customer over a Cloudflare VPN you will never tie the two records together? That is actually encouraging if you'd publicly commit to that.
