New DNS service promises faster speeds and increased security for internet users

I am more than impressed!

I have Verizon FIOS with a 500/500Mbps internet connection and thought my speeds were pretty good.
(I did have the 940/880Mbps connection because Verizon gave us a trial run!)

I didn’t keep the higher speeds because we are short on money as it is and $80.00 a month … just for the internet is more than we want to pay.

What I am impressed with is Cloudflare’s new tool called 1.1.1.1

Even with the better than average connection that I have, pages would still tend to load slower than I liked.

After changing my DNS settings to Cloudflare’s recommendations, I am zipping along!

Pages load instantly!

The tool reportedly erases browsing histories after 24 hours and allows for ultra fast internet speeds

Cloudflare has released a free website performance and security tool called 1.1.1.1., billed as “the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service.”

At a time when prying eyes seem to be popping up everywhere, hackers are having field days, and the net neutrality rules are being tossed aside by the Trump administration, having someone ride in on a white horse might just be the answer consumers were looking for.

Cloudflare plans to stake its reputation on the promise that 1.1.1.1. will be “the internet’s fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service.” The company vows to wipe clean all logs of DNS queries within 24 hours.

Thanks for the info.

… and the net neutrality rules are being tossed aside by the Trump administration …

I don’t understand the net neutrality connection here. What good did it do?

Also, how would OpenDNS connect my DNS queries to me? They see my IP address, but how do they know who’s using it? As for Google, I guess they have enough information to connect me to any queries to Google DNS, so I’ll stop using them.
