Straight from Cloudflare's own blog: "From a technical perspective, WARP is a VPN. But it is designed for a very different audience than a traditional VPN. 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. If you’re looking for that kind of high-security protection then a traditional VPN or a service like Tor are likely better choices for you."
- karmakaze 7y agoIt's interesting how terms evolve. The original virtual private network (VPN) is the business kind which WARP is. The newer, now more popularly known (and thus traditional?) is the consumer kind. The difference between them is the axis of the 'P'rivate part. The business VPN isolates one network from another. The consumer one isolates the client-side from the server side. Private-proxy would be better name for the latter but for widespread usage.
