Introducing WARP: fixing mobile Internet performance and security
Apr 1, 2019Matthew Prince
Summary
This post introduces WARP, a new technology integrated into the 1.1.1.1 app, which significantly enhances mobile internet security and performance. WARP acts as a VPN for all mobile traffic, encrypting unencrypted connections to Cloudflare's edge, improving performance through a UDP-based protocol optimized for mobile, and increasing reliability by recovering faster from network loss. It also addresses battery drain concerns by using an efficient protocol and minimizing radio usage. The free version of WARP is offered to make these improvements accessible, with a premium WARP+ version for enhanced speed.
