Cloudflare one of the companies known for providing internet based services such as digital security, announced the launch of a new DNS service a day after April fools day which is considered one of the fastest and most secure DNS service currently faster than Google popular revolvers such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. In fact this website uses some of its services to make your web browsing experience snappy.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves here, as we have a little learning to do before we can make use this great technology.
In simple terms we can consider DNS as a directory which can help us find anything on the internet, Facebook,Gmail,Twitter and to my brothers who usually visit the XXX rated websites it all starts with a simple search which is referred to as a DNS query.
Currently we have so many DNS providers ranging from our Internet Service Providers and the internet giants like Google who provide this as a free service, but their is a catch for this as not everything is free, yeah these guys are actually spying on us watching every website you visit some even use your search data to sell targeted and annoying ads.
Now that Cloudflare is offering us an alternative here are the five key points on how to get this new 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver;
The new Cloudflare’s DNS is faster than any other DNS service provider out there, even faster than Google, if you wont take our word for it we have a few facts lined up for you just click on the link below;
