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!

How to know how anonymous on the Internet you are

All the sites you visit can see your address, IP and ISP name. But if you care about your anonymity, you probably use a VPN or Tor to prevent sites from finding out your real identity.

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.

Try and check yourself!

Things You Need to Do Before Deleting an App

Here are multiple steps making sure an app is fully disconnected from your πŸ“± and other accounts:

βœ… Delete all your data on the app. You can usually find an option to delete stored data under menu titles like β€œprivacy,” β€œaccount settings,” or β€œsecurity".

βœ… Log in to your account through a web browser, if possible. Sometimes you’ll find additional settings available through the desktop version of the app.

βœ… Unlink or revoke any Facebook or Google integrations, finding the β€œlinked accounts” option and removing the app or link. You can also remove integrations through the linked account instead. Just sign in to it, check your settings to see which apps they share data with, and then delete what you no longer use.

βœ… If you can’t find any information about deleting your data on an app, contact the app’s customer service team and request in writing that your data be completely deleted.
