I use 1.1.1.1

1.1.1.1 is not a true VPN, only encrypts your DNS requests not the traffic itself.

Agreed. It doesn't hide the location, but 1.1.1.1 + Warp improves security.

I have some reservations about Warp+, spending $4.99 to improve speed which several benchmarks show it actually doesn't improve the speed of your connection.

Agreed on the improved security bit.

I agree again for the pricing part. But Warp+ improves the speed by avoiding internet traffic jams.
