Many services now restrict access to users connecting from known VPN IPs by either drowning them in endless captchas or outright blocking them. This hits IVPN extra hard because it does not have many servers so rotating locations is not the best help. The primary perpetrator of this censorship and anti-privacy operation is Cloudflare, but Google, with their recent outright blocks on YouTube, is also well-known.
Describe the solution you'd like
Despite Cloudflare being the primary censor, they also offer a VPN service, Cloudflare Warp, that is no doubt given a pass from the blocks. Warp is not configurable though, and you cannot chose your location as it defaults to a Cloudflare IP nearest to the entry IP. Cloudflare is also not a privacy company so using their VPN directly is not an option.
It would be great if the IVPN app were to provide a feature, similar to multihop, that allowed exiting IVPN traffic through an integrated Warp instance. This also helps protect the user by shielding their real IP addresses from Cloudflare. I do not know if this may help with an implementation but just in case, I saw https://github.com/doxx/darkflare#%EF%B8%8F-stop-network-censorship.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Unfortunately, switching VPNs.
