ZDNet:
Cloudflare is an old hand at speeding up corporate internet services with its content delivery network (CDN). The company is also a pro at blocking Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Now, with its new 1.1.1.1 public Domain Name System (DNS) resolver, it can speed up and secure your web browsing, as well.
When I read about this yesterday, I was sure it was an April Fools’ joke. Good to read it isn’t.
I’ve been trying it out. So far, so good.
I think Apple should make it easy for the average user to choose DNS options, kind of like choosing DuckDuckGo as your search engine under prefs.
I thought so too. Was waiting to see.
Switched my iPad to it just now.
My understanding though was changing DNS can slow down Apple TV/Netflix delivery and other Apple related downloads because you’re not as accurately localized? Am I wrong on this?
I switched my router settings and have not seen a slowdown with Apple TV / Netflix. Only one night so far though. Try it, you can always switch back easy enough.
