RE: Cloudflare’s DNS 1.1.1.1 Promises to Increase Privacy and Internet Speed
Cloudflare, a US-based content delivery network, has launched its own DNS (domain name server) service which promises to improve your internet connection and ensure that privacy is maintained. This service will be using the address https://1.1.1.1 for resolving DNS which anyone can use. According to The Verge, Cloudflare claims that it will be the internet's fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service. Cloudflare has promised to wipe out all logs of DNS queries within 24 hours. Now DNS services are services typically offered by the internet service providers to resolve domain names. Think of DNS as an internet directory. So every time you click on a link, open an app, send an email and so on, your device is communicating with the DNS directory to find out where it can find the addresses.
