Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 with WARP review

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 with WARP is not a traditional VPN, and Cloudflare says so. Its documentation states that WARP does not provide anonymity, is not designed to stop servers from identifying you and does not let you appear to be in a different country. What it does do, in Traffic and DNS mode, is encrypt traffic from your device to Cloudflare's network using MASQUE, with post-quantum cryptography, which keeps a cafe Wi-Fi operator or internet provider from reading it. DNS only mode sends just your DNS lookups through the encrypted 1.1.1.1 resolver. The apps run on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux. WARP+ Unlimited is a monthly subscription bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play, listed at $4.99 on the US App Store, and it adds access to more Cloudflare cities for lower latency. Choose it for encrypted connections on untrusted networks, not for streaming catalogs or hiding your identity.
