    Has anyone, who actually has the technical knowledge to comment, tried this service and can give us a report please?

    OK, a bit early for that request. Meantime, this is the best I can find...

    At the moment, there is a lengthy waiting list for the free VPN (I'm number 278100 on the list, for instance) but we've been given a sneak peak at what to expect. Leaked screenshots show off the free VPN, and a video gives you an idea of the sort of performance you can expect.

    I just gave it a try,
    but it's so terrible slow,
    that it's unusable.

    Strange, I took it for a test drive and it was surprisingly fast here, removed it though as I'm happy with IVPN, just wanted to check it out.

    I was going to give it a try but...
    What WARP Is Not
    From a technical perspective, WARP is a VPN. But it is designed for a very different audience than a traditional VPN. WARP is not designed to allow you to access geo-restricted content when you’re traveling. It will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit. If you’re looking for that kind of high-security protection then a traditional VPN or a service like Tor are likely better choices for you.
