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

One big positive noticed:

MSI's site loads much faster(I mean when you're looking at hardware) with Cloudflare.
It usually has a red loading line at the top, and as you scroll down, the page jumps back up when it finishes loading.

 

That is really fast, I thought it may of been cloudflare hosted - but it's not.

 

I've never been there, so no possible leftover clutter. I just did, and it was almost instantaneous!

I'm using IPv6 in Asia country so Cloudflare doesn't make any significant improvement at all compare with Google.

 

hey all should i also change this in my xbox one x or leave them on default settings ???

 

Benchmarks clearly indicate Cloudflare DNS is faster.

Under normal operating conditions I receive a severe lag at YouTube with Cloudflare.

 

I need more coffee....are you saying it's faster, but slower in YouTube? *Confused

 

This is perhaps the first ever "alien" influenced YouTube streaming speed issue in modern history when changing a Domain Name to IP Address Resolving Service...

 

Me too. Benchmarking (ping) is faster than Google as everyone, everywhere states. When I visit youtube, initial page loads but video takes 4-10 seconds to load. Change DNS back to google and video loads immediate.

 

Just curious... are you changing both IPV4 and IPV6? Correct order of primary and secondary?

Also, just to rule out, at cmd prompt, copy/paste

ipconfig /flushdns

and enter. Normally, the TTL is 24 hours or so, but might not be clearing all old resolutions.

 

Using IPV4 only, set in router which performs init at change. Also using DNSSEC.
Code: <30>Apr 19 10:23:41 dnsmasq[12111]: using nameserver 1.1.1.1#53 <30>Apr 19 10:23:41 dnsmasq[12111]: using nameserver 1.0.0.1#53[/quote] Edit: Flushing resolver cache at computer fixed it. Thanks TC.

 

I would also change IPV6 as you will have to different DNS the one on IPV4 will be cloudflare and IPV6 will be your normal DNS, i have both my IPV4 and IPV6 on cloudflare and have not had one slow down on youtube at all is faster.

 

My ISP has not implemented IPV6 yet.

 

What happens if you change the DNS server address in Windows but not in your router? Could that lead to a conflict? Could your router override your Windows setting?

 

No, there won't be any conflict.
