Windows 10: New Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service

Kari has also posted to the Win10.guru blog on the CloudFlare stuff. Please check it out at: 1.1.1.1 Win10.Guru.

Indeed. At first they claim - no logging, then, that they remove logs after 24 hours. So which is it? As for speed 9.9.9.9 and UltraDNS come close. As for privacy, I would go for something else, something less "corporate".

 

What I see:

 

You should run a test with more queries. 2 is hardly enough, even you have 100ms difference.

 

Ha, just figured out what the problem was for the vSwitch, thanks to Shawns tutorial using Get-DnsClientServerAddress.

The automatic resolve runs it through the Frit! Box, which I have set to Cloudflare anyhow.

When I copy and pasted 192.168.178.1 into the browser address bar, it takes me to my router/modems sign-in page.
So the unresolve was some kind of loop or something.

 

Another nice cmd to check your setting: nslookup
Nslookup

 

Using it since yesterday announcement by @Brink, amazing!

 

Ok, Cliff...what am I doing wrong. NSLOOKUP goes nuts, but the Powershell cmd works fine. Yes, it was an Admin Command prompt.

Code: C:\Users\dhubb\Desktop>nslookup DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds.

[/quote] I couldn't tell you. nslookup works fine for me in PS and CMD
nslookup gives you the server name along with the ip address is all




I have my modem and Ethernet adapter configured, but not my vSwitch(that connects straight through my Fritz! Box which has the new DNS settings).

 

I used this for a while then websites wouldnt load so had to switch back.

 

I think you have to use the actual ip address of the server being used for DNS Lookups.

What's My DNS Server?

 

I'm just curious, anyone else read the 1.1.1.1 user friendly address as Idiot Idiot Idiot at first too, or is the PEBCAK just me*chuckle

 

You read it any way you want to, Cliff. It's ok. *Group hug*Drink1

 

Same here I am in the United States in NYC and it was much slower than OpenDNS.
