The VPN Service 'Warp' installed in the DNS Service '1.1.1.1' adopts the robust and high-speed VPN protocol ' WireGuard VPN '. With Warp, all smartphone communication is automatically encrypted, and the traffic seems to be reduced by being compressed and treated as a cache. Cloudflare explains that the power of WireGuard VPN also reduces battery consumption.

VPN is generally used “to disguise as if you are accessing from another country,” but Warp does not have such a function and is specialized in improving privacy and communication speed. According to Cloudflare, 'We will not hold data that can identify the user in the first place, and we will never use the user's Internet browsing information, etc.' The app version '1.1.1.1' has been released for

Android and iOS versions, but at the time of writing, Warp is in the process of accepting reservations. When you actually apply to Warp, you will need to pass a waiting number and wait for Warp's service to be provided.

Cloudflare has announced that it will launch Warp's service in mid-April 2019 and by the end of July 2019 everyone will be able to handle Warp. Warp is available for free on a basic basis, but plans are also available for better functionality at a fee.

The PC version of Warp is also scheduled to be released soon.
