The free app that makes your Internet safer and faster
WARP is a free VPN for everyone. This application has become analogue to a VPN.
VPN hides the original IP address (where and who you are), WARP does not. But it encrypts traffic because it uses the Cloudflare DNS service. WARP is designed to protect information while transmitting data over the network. It protects against leaks on public networks, sniffers, tracking by ISPs or ad networks. Basically, WARP is basically a VPN.
Why are VPNs worse? They slow down devices, reduce traffic speeds, and kill the battery. WARP is not. Yes, it's not designed to access blocked resources, but it does the job! It speeds your internet up!

Proxy6 collects and checks all your data, and shows you the results of the check after a few seconds.
You'll know what your conditional online profile looks like - whether you have VPN, proxy, Tor, Turbo mode and two-way pings enabled. And Proxy6 will also check you in leak databases: for example, if your DNS, IP address via WebRTC and other data is leaked.
