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:

Logging?

https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/privacy/

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 https://1.1.1.1/, a free VPN. I wanted to mention this because it’s often said that you need a paid VPN for torrenting in some countries like the US or Germany

    WARP is a great. The only issue when it comes to torrenting is you can’t drill open any ports. Makes seeding super hard near impossible.

    Other than that, yeah it will protect all traffic and is insanely fast for a free service (I snapped 700Mbps and my line is 1Gbps).
