Yes, I got the name of the app wrong; it's called "1.1.1.1". I have been using it only since the Warp stuff was added, so in my brain it's called "warp" even though that's not actually correct, sorry.

Warp is a vpn service, but I hesitate to just say "yes" in this case because of the caveats around end-users seeing your IP. Many folks use vpns to attempt to hide information from the site that they use, but this doesn't inherently do that, it hides the information from your internet provider. When this was announced on HN, there was a lot of arguing about that, so I tried to sidestep it by just saying plainly what it does.
