1.1.1.1 is the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service powered by Cloudflare and no, this is not a joke.

I’ve always wonder how Google got the IP address 8.8.8.8 and IBM got their 9.9.9.9.

@bradungar According to APNIC, it was done with specific caveats for the purpose of research, and requires ongoing audits. https://blog.apnic.net/2018/04/0...
Love it! Really easy to implement, great job Cloudflare!
Pros:Faster
Cons:Nothing
Why does Safari give me a "certificate not valid warning" on Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 site, which offers a privacy service? Not great to see a warning that your personal data may be stolen.
Not sure about the privacy part.
Pros:Alternative to Google DNS
Cons:Is not a Google DNS
Is this legit or will you just replace all images on websites with Nicolas Cage?
@gabriel__lewis Yes, it should do. As long as your network or device allows you to change your DNS address, then you can use 1.1.1.1
it’s amazing, at the beginning I thought it’s April fool but then I realized that its just blocked by my isp provider, I used VPN to try to give it a try, but I couldn't because the certificate of the website has some issue, hope you gonna fix it soon
@engomarehab If you're still having issues, would you be able to send a traceroute of 1.1.1.1 so we can find out what the issue is?
@aaranmcguire here it's but I did remove last couple numbers from my personal IP address
Traceroute has started…

I'm not sure what makes me trust this in terms of better speed and security. How do I know for sure?
@adrian_carolli You can view the Privacy Policy here, https://developers.cloudflare.co... This will be audited by a third party each year.
@aaranmcguire @adrian_carolli Good way to try is with ping command (at-least on Linux and Mac)
I see it is slightly faster or at-least comparable to Google DNS and Open DNS at my location (Illinois, US)
ping 1.1.1.1
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 13.078/14.768/18.370/1.948 ms
ping 8.8.8.8
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 14.055/17.541/29.320/5.445 ms
ping 208.67.222.222
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 14.260/15.401/16.876/0.972 ms
Has it been blocked by the Great Firewall of China yet? (The true mark of success - :-) )
Cloudfare CEO says he's working on it.
Pros:At least Quad 9 blocks phishing and malware domains
Cons:Not quite as 'Private' as advertised, as currently no encrypted SNI
I just tried it and ran a bunch of before and after speed tests and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference... I'm on a MacBook using Fios in NYC.
@hellotom 1.1.1.1. is faster https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-re.... Also, if you're concerned about privacy I would recommend using 1.1.1.1. You can see everything 1.1.1.1 logs, https://developers.cloudflare.co...
