Cloudflare Launched Warp – A New Free VPN Service for iOS and Android Users

Now the Cloudflare improves the app beyond the DNS, that extended it to operate as a VPN for mobile devices.

“Warp respects end-to-end encryption and doesn’t require you to install a root certificate or give Cloudflare any way to see any encrypted Internet traffic we wouldn’t have otherwise.”

The wrap covers not only your web browser it covers all the apps running on your phone. All the traffic will be encrypted automatically by default.

Cloudflare claims that Warp is performance and reliability, while other VPNs slow down the Internet, Warp adds encryption from your device to the edge of Cloudflare’s network.

“We’ve built Warp around a UDP-based protocol that is optimized for the mobile Internet. We also leveraged Cloudflare’s massive global network, allowing Warp to connect with servers within milliseconds of most the world’s Internet users.”

The wrap service is available for free and the basic version of the wrap includes with 1.1.1.1 App for free.

The wrap is not fully available, starting from April 1, you can claim the service and you will be placed in the queue for service activation.

“As we start onboarding people, your position in line will move up. When it’s your turn we’ll send you a notification and you’ll be able to enable Warp to experience a faster, more secure, more private Internet for yourself,” reads Cloudflare blog post.
