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

  • https://ibb.co/zPJ0jcf

https://www.cloudflare.com/application/privacypolicy/

  • https://ibb.co/Wgb0nt4
  • https://ibb.co/pb6xfsv
  • https://ibb.co/DG5cHWL

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

    I believe the feature was included at the end of 2022. I know it works right now because I tested with the ip-leak checkers

      Cloudflares blog posts say so so I assume this is true but I would still recommend everyone to verify this for themselves before receiving letters from law firms.
