you guys ready yep three two one go
wow would you look at that now you probably couldn't tell but the
one in my right hand was a lot faster i mean not because the page actually came
up any sooner so it's not it's not faster in a traditional sense but
because the speed was the same and there was a bunch of extra stuff that it was
doing in the background that would normally cause it to be slower
we're gonna call it faster this technology is counter-intuitively called
warp and if it's successful it could fundamentally change the very structure
of the internet as we know it

in 2018 cloudflare launched their free
1.1.1.1 dns service which promised to make your internet both more secure and
faster then they released the accompanying one
dot app which allows anyone to connect to the service just by tapping a single
button on their smartphone for free for more testing one dot doesn't increase
your raw download speeds but it does on average make browsing the internet more
responsive if you haven't installed it go grab it and then the promise that i
made to you in the video title is fulfilled you can show your appreciation
by heading to lttstore.com but cloudflare wasn't done recently they
updated the one dot app with their new warp technology so if you have the app
already it should be updated with warp meaning that you've already been
experiencing a more secure internet connection
great job the question is where did security enter the conversation
well cloudflare's original goal for warp was to both accelerate and secure their
users mobile data all without burning any extra battery
according to their blog that was harder than we anticipated so they've
pivoted a little and warp is now being pitched as the vpn for people who don't
know what a vpn stands for but calling it a vpn might lead to some confusion
because if you ask the average person what they think of epn does they'll
probably say something like it's what lets me watch netflix from america or
it's what keeps the government from finding where i am
and they wouldn't be wrong the key feature of most vpns is their ability to
mask your ip address preventing websites from seeing your physical location and
preventing your internet service provider from tracking your activities
and selling your data to advertisers but while warp does encrypt traffic sent
from your phone it does not mask your ip address so it's
not a vpn then well
if that's how you define a vpn then no it's not but cloudflare thinks that the
way we've all been thinking about virtual private networks is too small
most people could benefit from encryption on all of their internet
traffic protecting against threats like man-in-the-middle data stealing attacks
but not everyone needs to mask their ip address the other thing about vpns that
cloudflare thinks we should reconsider is the fact that they often slow down
your internet connection the thing is to hide your location vpns route your
connection through servers that are in another physical location sometimes
halfway across the world by the way we're working on a video about making
your own vpn uh get subbed anyway that physical distance combined
with encryption and security protocols that take time to work their magic
translates to a more secure but slower connection
now warp does these last two things but
warp routes your traffic through cloudflare's global server network which
is much more widespread than most vpn services and they've taken a mobile
first approach to their design you see while most of the internet uses
the transmission control protocol or tcp
warp is built around a protocol based on udp or user datagram protocol which can
enable connections that are both faster and more resistant to dropouts warp also
uses the wireguard vpn protocol which is more modern and efficient than
traditional options like openvpn and ipsec which improves latency and battery
usage to top it all off cloudflare says warp can even cache and compress content
to improve your phone's performance and potentially decrease your data usage
so warp had a lot to live up to during our
testing like last time guys we're not looking at
speed in terms of megabits per second we're looking at performance when it
comes to page loading times so then we can't use regular testing sites like
speedtest.net instead we have to directly compare the end user experience
loading websites on multiple devices
and we found that on our wi-fi here at the office a pixel 3 xl with the 1.app
and warp enabled actually loaded sites slightly slower than one without it when
we signed up for warp plus which costs four dollars a month and uses
cloudflare's argo smart routing network load times came up around equal with our
non-warp phone but we still had some questions about these results and
cloudflare's response was that people in developed countries with already blazing
fast speeds which is definitely us are
not likely to see speed increases using warp but where their technology
apparently has a huge effect is in countries where the network
infrastructure isn't as great so this is where that fundamental
structure of the internet thing comes back into play warp is a vpn but one that doesn't mask
your ip address what it does is make your entire internet experience on
mobile more secure by making sure that all the outgoing traffic is encrypted
if cloudflare can deliver that experience to the average consumer
making their mobile internet faster than other vpns
for free well to us that seems like a win
massdrop and sennheiser collaborated on the hd6xx headphones and to say that it
was a success would be an understatement they've sold over 80 000 of these things
and no wonder thanks to their balance mid-range and natural sounding bass they
designed them based on community feedback they've got a 1 8 inch plug for
everyday use they come with a one quarter inch adapter for professional use they've got a two-year warranty from
sennheiser they sound absolutely fantastic they're super comfortable and
