Posts from 1-2 years ago conclude WARP doesn’t really protect your IP when torrenting. But it does protect it in the present.
You can verify yourself using these checkers that your IP is properly hidden:
- https://bash.ws/torrent-leak-test
- https://ipleak.net/
- https://www.whatismyip.net/tools/torrent-ip-checker/
Logging? https://www.cloudflare.com/application/privacypolicy/
They say they don’t log the link between your IP and the sites you visit. They say they just use your IP to assign to your the Cloudflare IP.
Speed? I can max out my ISP speed, which is pretty decent. (With the free version, no need to pay for WARP+)
Free, decently fast, decent privacy policy. IMO good enough for the average pirate who doesn’t want to pay.
Thoughts?
Edit: Warp is this VPN https://1.1.1.1/ I wanted to make this argument because it’s often said that you need a paid VPN to torrent (in some 1st world countries like USA or Germany). But this is a decent free alternative.
A VPN from Cloudflare if I’m not mistaken, with a free tier.

I had forgotten about this. Looks neat still
Oh cool! Thanks for explaining.
Yes it’s this. I should have put a link.
