Announcing 1.1.1.1: the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has launched 1.1.1.1, a new consumer DNS service that promises to be the internet's fastest and most privacy-focused option. The company aims to help build a better internet by addressing issues such as slow and non-privacy respecting DNS services often provided by ISPs. The new service is built on Cloudflare's extensive global network, which outperforms other consumer DNS services available. 1.1.1.1 also offers a commitment to never write the querying IP addresses to disk and wipe all logs within 24 hours. Additionally, KPMG will audit its practices annually and publish a public report confirming compliance with privacy policies.
