New private DNS - 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

bye bye google
“DNS is usually slow and insecure. Your ISP, and anyone else listening in
on the Internet, can see every site you visit and every app you use —
even if their content is encrypted. Creepily, some DNS providers sell
data about your Internet activity or use it target you with ads.”

1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

Privacy First: Guaranteed.
We will never sell your data or use it to target ads. Period.
We will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you).
And we’re not just saying that.
We’ve retained KPMG to audit our systems annually to ensure that we’re
doing what we say.Frankly, we don’t want to know what you
do on the Internet—it’s none of our business—and we’ve taken the
technical steps to ensure we can’t.

Seems to work pretty fast.

So should you change it for every WiFi connection you use?

Thanks for the share @bill_rae. How long have you been using this?Does it completely wipe your autocomplete right away or just the next log on?

Nice! Didn’t want to use Google’s dns but it was the easiest to remember, now this beats that!

I feel I need to put a disclaimer here… Take all the “advice” on that website with a pinch of salt.
Two companies are setting up a free service to make the internet more private (its not) and quicker? For free? They are taking nothing from this?

No… the old saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” comes to mind.

And if you have been lead to believe that changing your DNS service will mean your ISP cannot track you, you are wrong. They still can/do.

Working pretty well for me :stuck_out_tongue:

Cloudflare’s company mission is based on free speech and privacy, and yes to make money as well.
There’s a good story on them here.

But they are pro net-neutrality and pro-privacy.

That being said they did announce that they were removing their DDOS protection service off a white supremacy website and surprise, it was knocked offline in a few hours

Change it on your router and your pc will use it when it grabs dhcp address
