Looking for a free but reliable VPN? Depending on what you mean by that legitimate and whatever VPN you ask for, you might be interested in meeting Cloudflare WARPa solution that the network giant makes available to the average user and that has a lot to offer.

But let’s start from the beginning: VPN, as you know, is AND virtual private network or virtual private networkgenerally speaking, a default overlay connection in which the IP address is masked from outside the device, providing an additional layer of privacy that also reaches your ISP.

Now, when we talk about a VPN, it is usually made up of services that, among other things, allow you to connect to IPs from different locations around the world and thus bypass territorial restrictions – hence the typical hook “the ability to watch Netflix and the like from countries with better fed catalogs- and that too with good speed. Otherwise, to prioritize privacy, it’s better to use something like Tor.

That being said, VPNs cost money and those that don’t, or offer limited services in terms of available connections and speeds, make them unbearable for everyday use, or pose a risk to privacy, if not security, then don’t do it. nothing suitable. Of course there are exceptions with but: nobody gives anything away.

We recently talked about Google One VPN in these parts, for example, a very interesting service for subscribers of Google’s payment plans, but it also has its limitations: in this case, the inability to choose where to connect from, even if a different IP is assigned.

It’s the same with Cloudflare WARP, a service that has improved a lot since it was announced as a mobile app almost four years ago, and today it’s the best in its category. In fact, Cloudflare WARP proposal is very similar to Google Cloud VPN, but free as a base.

Cloudflare WARP essentially creates a VPN that assigns a new IP even if it’s in the same location or very close to your own ISP, encrypts all traffic and is practically as fast as your connectionit’s not for nothing that the content delivery network giant offers a big wall of defense against massive DoSS attacks.

Some of its limitations, such as connection only from the site itself, are optional when paying, but it is not necessary to use the service in its full capacity. And what’s better: Cloudflare WARP is available for mobile (Android, iOS) and PC, including Windows, Mac and Linux. Without going any further, I recommend the article I dedicated to Cloudflare WARP in MuyLinux.

By the way: Cloudflare WARP works not only as a VPN, but also modifies the system’s DNS, a very specific detail that you will also find explained in the previous article, but which is worth mentioning here because of its importance. What’s more, you will find Cloudflare DNS available in browsers like Firefox or Chrome, disabled by default, yes.

When it comes to privacy, if you trust the terms and conditions and privacy policy of not only Cloudflare WARP, but any other VPN service on the market… And if you don’t, then don’t. More information and client downloads in Official Cloudflare WARP site.
