by•

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.

@chiancheng Boom! 1.1.1.1.

@chiancheng Anything can be done with $$$

@bradungar In this case, 1.1.1.1 was held by the non-profit APNIC.
Brad Ungar
@etc so I nice non-profit donation was provided to APNIC I guess.
E.T.Cook
@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...

Is this legit or will you just replace all images on websites with Nicolas Cage?
Aaran McGuire
@benjam1n Yes, this is 100% legit.

How does it compare to opendns.com?
Aaran McGuire
@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...

@aaranmcguire 👍🏻

I will try it out because I rather trust Cloudflare than Comcast
Adrian Carolli
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 I gave it a try it does seem faster but maybe placebo :P

@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

@adeekshith Sweet tip!

Have been using Cloudflare to speed up my websites for many years, love the product. 1.1.1.1 is really really fast. Even the Google AdWords loads in seconds which normally takes atleast 2-3 mins time :p

Pros:

Super fast!

Cons:

Don't see any.

Not a good day to release a product. I just wish it's not an April Fool joke!
Aaran McGuire
@angel54689 It's 100% real, try it out.
Angel † エンジェル™
@aaranmcguire Yes, already using it!
Nate Ritter

What else is there to know?

Pros:

Fast

Cons:

None yet

Awesome move from Cloudflare here with this new service coming as a natural extension to their powerful network. ✌🏼

Has it been blocked by the Great Firewall of China yet? (The true mark of success - :-) )
