Wireguard VPN. But they disclose your real IP to websites served by Cloudflare, so it’s kind of unusual. I use it to circumvent my country censure.


From https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/known-issues-a... :

> 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’s 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.

Given that Cloudflare has recently announced that a site’s operators promoting doxxing is an acceptable use of that same Cloudflare network (their backtracking on grounds of imminent threats to human life in one situation does not make this any less their policy), I cannot in good conscience promote Warp to anyone.
