[QUOTE="Moonhorse, post: 970579, member: 72712"] Is cloudflares WARP ( free) really an VPN? Fast checking in browserleaks shows that it works like vpn, has tunneling etc . I can get 60/60 mbs download/upload speeds with it .. without im getting 115/65 usually. Is it worth using? Atleast for mobile devices its decent as you dont need such speeds on mobile as i can get 60mbs on mobile aswell Well after reading faq i found the reason: [HEADING=1]Why has my throughput dropped while using WARP?[/HEADING] Cloudflare WARP is in part powered by 1.1.1.1, the world's fastest DNS resolver. When visiting sites or going to a new location on the Internet, you should see fast DNS lookups. WARP, however, is built to trade some throughput for enhanced privacy, by encrypting all traffic both to and from your device. While this is not noticeable at most mobile speeds, on desktop systems in countries where high-speed broadband is available, you may notice a drop. We think the tradeoff is worth it and continue to work on improving performance all over the system.

In a number of cases, if the origin site you are communicating with cannot determine who you are and where you are from, it cannot serve locale-relevant content to you (that is, anything related to a customized user experience, such as language or regional configurations). Sites inside Cloudflare network are able to see this information. If a site is showing you your IP address, chances are they are in our network. Most sites outside our network, however, are unable to see this information and instead see the nearest egress server to their server. We are working to see if in the future we can find a way to more easily share this information with a limited number of sites outside Cloudflare's network, where it is relevant to both parties.
