Cloudflare offers free and open access DNS, which improves response times

The new Cloudflare DNS service, which is freely accessible to all users, allows lower response times and also offers greater privacy.

Cloudflare has launched the new DNS service, for all users and it is completely free. This free access service promises to speed up user connections, as well as offering great privacy. The service, based on the DNS 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, is very easy to use and promises to reduce, especially the ping, allowing a system that will be 'the fastest consumer DNS service and the most privacy on the Internet. '

Until now we had OpenDNS and Google DNS as alternatives, but Cloudflare's service, in addition to being more powerful, focuses above all on a very important aspect these days, with the Facebook scandal, which is the privacy of the DNS, with the promise of deleting the records as usual.

Typically the DNS service that resolves the domain, such as Google.com as an IP address between the router and the network switches. This is a fundamental part of the internet, but DNS servers are usually provided by ISPs, which are often very slow and unreliable.

To offer this service, Cloudflare has worked with APNIC to offer this DNS service: 'We talked to the APNIC team about how we wanted to create an extremely fast, privacy-first DNS system,' explains Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince. “We offered to Cloudflare's network to receive and study the junk traffic in exchange for being able to offer a DNS solution over memorable IPs. And, with that, 1.1.1.1.1 was born'

Said DNS service offers both support for DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS, and the company expects HTTPS support to reach more browsers and operating systems. Cloudflare DNS offers a 14nm response time, while OpenDNS offers a 20ms response time and Google DNS offers a 34ms response time.

  1. But in which countries does it work best? As much as they say that it improves response times, if I'm in Argentina and the closest dns server is in Japan, I don't think it works better.

      1. Obviously it works all over the world, but in which places do they have nearby servers, since that influences.
