Introducing 1.1.1.1 for Families

On April 1, 2020, Cloudflare announced the launch of "1.1.1.1 for Families," a free service designed to protect home networks from malware and adult content. This new offering leverages Cloudflare's global network to ensure fast and secure connections worldwide while maintaining strong privacy guarantees. The setup process is simple, requiring only changing two numbers in the settings of home devices or routers. 1.1.1.1 for Families offers two default options: one that blocks malware and another that also blocks adult content. In the coming months, additional configuration settings will be provided, including allowlists, blocklists, and customizable blocking times for specific categories. This service is built on top of the same site categorization and filtering technology used in Cloudflare's Gateway product.
