is my vpn on or off???
Is it connected? Yesn’t
BTW I’m pretty sure WARP isn’t VPN but a DNS service.
Ah yes, race conditions, my favorite to discover and least favorite to actually report/fix
Yep you’re right. There’s a VPN option in the settings though, but then it’s called 1.1.1.1 warp and not warp
I’m not very informed on VPN’s, DNS’s, etc. What’s the difference between a DNS and VPN?
It’s DNS by default, VPN when you get a license.
It’s a wireguard based vpn
It’s not a race. Warp fails to update its UI after an error while disconnecting.
Every server has an IP address, but your computer doesn’t know what IP address is for a domain (think of it like a website) is. For example when you type Google.com it doesn’t know where to go, so it asks DNS (Domain Name Server) where to go and it translates domain name to IP address. This is a simplified explanation there are few more steps as well.
Next there is VPN. VPN acts like a tunnel between you and the server. Data will be encrypted in the way out of your phone and decrypted at the VPN server before reaching the server you need to connect to. Basically VPN gets the data from server for you.
A DNS server is a server that you connect to, and that server will redirect you to a website: there can be slower and faster servers, depending on many factors.
A VPN is a service that changes your IP address and secures your connection to the internet
Hope that makes sense
