1.1.1.1: Free DNS Server for Faster Internet, Better Privacy

Every time you visit a domain like mymoneyblog.com, you use a DNS server to find its “address”, specifically IP address. However, your internet service provider (ISP) may be logging every single request then selling this data to other advertisers. CloudFlare and APNIC partnered to create 1.1.1.1, an alternative free DNS resolver that doesn’t sell data to advertisers. It also uses CloudFlare’s network of servers to even faster than other DNS servers, even Google’s version.

Better privacy and faster internet? Sounds good to me. The main concern is that this is a private effort and you have to trust that they will maintain this unprofitable venture. I’ll try it out while it lasts. Learn more here. Installation directions (you must change a few settings) here.
