Cloudflare releases new DNS servers that promise speed and privacy.
If you are still using your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DNS, you are using something that likely logs all your traffic, possibly injects adware/malware/tracking, and is almost certainly slow. Even using Google DNS (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) is a big improvement than the DNS provided by your ISP.
If privacy isn't your concern, Cloudflare's new DNS promises to considerably faster than even Google DNS, and not just by a small amount. Performance improvement averages over 200% faster.
Configuring a device to use Cloudflare's new DNS is really easy, just set your DNS to 1.1.1.1 with a secondary of 1.0.0.1.
Cloudflare launched this new service on April 1st, but it is no April Fools Day joke. I've already switched over and the difference is noticeable.
