New 'fastest privacy-first' DNS Service 1.1.1.1
« on: April 02, 2018, 12:23:42 PM »

I know IBM launched their Quad9 (9.9.9.9) DNS service recently to block malicious domains and Google have 8.8.8.8 but Cloudfare have now announced its own 'privacy-first' DNS Service 1.1.1.1 which they say is faster than Google's service.

Quote
Focused on speed and privacy, 1.1.1.1 harnesses the power of the huge and widely distributed infrastructure built worldwide by Cloudflare to provide the fastest DNS service to date, according to DNSPerf. If that's not enough, Cloudflare consulted with browser manufacturers to understand their needs for a DNS service, with a resounding answer: privacy.

Browser manufacturers suggested Cloudflare should not keep transaction logs for longer than a week. But since the company's business model does not require it to harvest users' data, it has decided to go a step further and not even write the querying IP addresses to disk, wiping all the logs within 24 hours. Such a move blocks Cloudflare from building a detailed profile on each 1.1.1.1 user based on every website visited, as most - if not all of the other DNS services around the world - do. Also, Cloudflare's DNS service supports both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS protocols, two new approaches with the target of increasing DNS resolving security.

Though Cloudflare comes up in Google aside mentions of 1.1.1.1 and article from ZDnet dated today. If it is an AFJ, it caught some surprising people.

Its not an April Fool.. from the blog:

Quote
Seriously, April 1?
The only question that remained was when to launch the new service? This is the first consumer product Cloudflare has ever launched, so we wanted to reach a wider audience. At the same time, we're geeks at heart. 1.1.1.1 has 4 1s. So it seemed clear that 4/1 (April 1st) was the date we needed to launch it.

1.1.1.1
Never mind that it was a Sunday. Never mind that it was on Easter and during Passover. Never mind that it was April Fools Day — a day where tech companies often trot out fictional services they think are cute while the media and the rest of the non-tech world collectively roll their eyes.

We justified it to ourselves that Gmail, another great, non-fictional consumer service, also launched on April 1, 2004. Of course, as Cloudflare's PR team has repeatedly pointed out to me in the run up to launch, the Gmail launch day was a Thursday and not on Easter. Nearly every media briefing I did this week ahead of the launch the reporter made me swear that this wasn't a joke. And it's not. I swear. And the best way to prove that is go to 1.1.1.1, follow the instructions to set it up, and see for yourself. It's real. And it's awesome.

It doesn't rank top using DNS Benchmark - Level 3 does (and Google is well down):
