I’ve always wonder how Google got the IP address 8.8.8.8 and IBM got their 9.9.9.9.
Boom! 1.1.1.1.
Anything can be done with $$$
In this case, 1.1.1.1 was held by the non-profit APNIC.
so I nice non-profit donation was provided to APNIC I guess.
According to APNIC, it was done with specific caveats for the purpose of research, and requires ongoing audits.
Is this legit or will you just replace all images on websites with Nicolas Cage?
Yes, this is 100% legit.
How does it compare to opendns.com?
1.1.1.1. is faster . Also, if you're concerned about privacy I would recommend using 1.1.1.1. You can see everything 1.1.1.1 logs,
👍🏻
I will try it out because I rather trust Cloudflare than Comcast
I'm not sure what makes me trust this in terms of better speed and security. How do I know for sure?
You can view the Privacy Policy here, This will be audited by a third party each year.
I gave it a try it does seem faster but maybe placebo :P
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
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!
It's 100% real, try it out.
Yes, already using it!

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 - :-) )
