Warp utilizes Cloudflare's DNS servers (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) which are known for their speed and privacy features. This can be faster and more private than using your ISP's DNS servers. A VPN typically routes DNS requests through its own servers, masking your DNS queries from your ISP. Both offer improvements over default DNS settings, but with different approaches.
