Introducing DNS Resolver for Tor

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has launched a privacy-focused DNS resolver service, supporting emerging standards such as DNS over HTTPS and TLS. The company also introduced a Tor onion service for its resolver at dns4torpnlfs2ifuz2s2yf3fc7rdmsbhm6rw75euj35pac6ap25zgqad.onion, accessible via tor.cloudflare-dns.com. This experimental service aims to provide users with anonymity and privacy while resolving domain names. The hidden resolver is designed to be fast and secure, offering the same level of security for DNS-over-UDP and DNS-over-TCP as DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS provides. Users can set up the .onion-based resolver by following specific instructions provided on Cloudflare's developers page.
