folkrav,

Yeah, same. I have literally zero use for it outside tinkering, and knowing myself, I’ll play with it for a couple of days, then forget it in a drawer, rinse and repeat every handful of months. It’s just expensive enough that it feels pretty wasteful to do so lol

folkrav,

Free VPNs should be avoided at all costs for many reasons, and the alternatives are an additional service to pay for, to fix another service you already pay for too that doesn’t work the way it should work in the first place.

I don’t see what’s ineffectual about the complaints. Of course people will, and should, complain. Loudly.

folkrav,

That’s DNS

folkrav,

Yeah, fair enough. My point still stands though: VPNs are a mere band-aid to the underlying issue, not a solution. You’re merely shifting your trust from your ISP to another company, not fixing the problem.

folkrav,

Which is exactly my point. Not all VPN companies are trustworthy (I’d say most are not, tbh). You’re still stuck trusting some third-party. The problem lies elsewhere. VPNs are a band aid.

folkrav,

Hmm, Cloudflare themselves seem to say it’s not.

What WARP Is Not

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.

folkrav,

I don’t know how they’d know unless they could read your computer’s process list or something like that… And even then, how would they know if a process is recording or just receiving audio?

folkrav,

But how would they detect that watermark being recorded by a complete separate process or hardware output?
