1. When you use WireGuard as a VPN your device is connecting to wherever you happen to have hosted your server. Cloudflare's PoPs are located in 165 different Internet exchanges and ISPs, giving you a pretty good chance to be closer to you wherever you are in the world.

2. We (Cloudflare) have tech through our Mobile SDK product which can optimize the actual way the Internet TCP traffic is mapped into UDP.

3. We also have Argo, a technology for optimizing the routing of packets through the Internet which will be released as Warp+.
