This is a WireGuard client issue and not related to this project. Are you using the official WireGuard client? Is it up to date?

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

Glad that you sorted it out! I have no idea why Chrome does that, but this app has more than 17k downloads and the source is open for all that are suspicious :)

Unfortunately, Windows 7 doesn't support new drivers like WireGuard's Wintun. From VMWare's changelog:

Microsoft have changed Windows driver signing to use the SHA-2 algorithm exclusively and starting from September 2019, legacy Windows systems without SHA-2 code signing support will fail the driver signature verification.

Windows 10 :)

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

If you really, really need to use Windows 7, then there's also an unofficial WireGuard client called TunSafe: https://tunsafe.com/

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

You cannot make Windows 7 accept the new new drivers. Perhaps try finding an older version of the official WireGuard client that ships with an older Windows 7 -compatible driver.

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

Google and try. You need a version older than September 2019. As I said you can alternatively try TunSafe.

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

Sorry, I cannot help you with finding an old and unsupported version.

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

Don't worry about wasting my time and your English :)

Practically no, TunSafe doesn't have any difference from the official WireGuard client, but of course it's unofficial and possibly insecure. I would really advise you to upgrade to Window 10.

Cloudflare Warp is a VPN, internet usage will remain the same. Will it be faster - that depends on a lot of factors, try for yourself and compare.

@ViRb3 Nop it's not a vpn, Cloudflare also describes it as a vpn-like service.

ViRb3 commented 4 years ago

If we are talking technology, then Cloudflare Warp is an absolutely standard Wireguard VPN. Now if you mean anonymity, then yes, it will not hide your IP address from non-Cloudflare hosts.
