Introducing DNS Resolver, 1.1.1.1 (not a joke)

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has released its public DNS resolver, 1.1.1.1, aiming to make the internet faster, more secure and privacy-centric. The service is built on Cloudflare's Global Anycast Network and uses IPv4 addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. It supports emerging DNS privacy standards such as DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS, ensuring last mile encryption for users' DNS queries. The resolver also implements Query Minimization RFC7816, Aggressive negative answers RFC8198, and uses DNSSEC validation to ensure the accuracy of responses. It does not store client IP addresses or any information that identifies an end user. To use the service, visit https://1.1.1.1/.
