Cloudflares blog posts say so so I assume this is true but I would still recommend everyone to verify this for themselves before receiving letters from law firms.
When you visit a site that using Cloudflare, the site receives your IP address in a header. Sites not using Cloudflare do not. When torrenting, it’s possible that one of the trackers uses Cloudflare and gets your IP in that header, but it’s not a concern as other peers only receive the VPN IP.
But right now, according to this, they deny it specically: “WARP replaces your original IP address with a Cloudflare IP […]. This happens regardless of whether the site is on the Cloudflare network or not.”
I don’t know of a checker to individually verify this quickly, but I assume they say the truth.
Anyway, I think you are right in that it wouldn’t be a concern for torrenting, if it was true for the present.
Edit: I found a tool to verify this now: this http header checker is using Cloudflare according to the urlvoid scan. And I can’t see my real IP in the X-Forwarded-For and CF-Connecting-IP HTTP headers
Websites and third party services often infer geolocation from your IP address, and now, 1.1.1.1 + WARP replaces your original IP address with one that consistently and accurately represents your approximate location.
no thanks I don’t want to reveal my approximate location
