Hm, is Wireguard getting blocked by middleboxes or something?

Sometimes yes. MASQUE just looks like normal TLS port 443 traffic so it's less likely to be prevented. Other issues we had were just bugs with the WARP wireguard implementation regarding how the tunnel is built in Windows. I imagine it works better on Linux or MacOS which is likely what the developers were running when they designed WARP.

Hey! I worked on WARP at Cloudflare. I believe Cisco has anyconnect and then there's zscaler.

I'm curious how you guys are competing with the other folks in the space. WARP was/is a really tough product to maintain (crossplatform networking is very difficult). CF was doing well with WARP mostly due to the distribution advantage. I imagine it's harder for startups to break into the space.

As a WARP user that has experienced a lot of problems, I'm glad that Cloudflare is allowing WARP users to switch from wireguard to MASQUE. I'm hopeful this will solve a lot of our issues.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. These outage blog posts are great marketing and the main reason I use cloudflare.

This looks like a good alternative to urlscan.io I wish this would bypass cloudflare's own verification challenge for phishing sites hosted on cloudflare. A common issue I have with url scanners is I'm unable to get past the verification and the screenshot just shows the cloudflare page. So many phishing pages are using cloudflare now.
