Cloudflare: free DNS to HTTPS from the company

Cloudflare announced today its first consumer service product, which aims for a more private and secure on the Internet.

The company has created a new public DNS service, which is supposed to protect users from tracking on the web, while accelerating their online experience.

And no, it's not a simple joke.cloudflare

DNS resolution services provide computers with the IP addresses they need to access servers using their domains. In other words, it is what turns the domain iguru.gr into which are necessary (IP) to display the website to you.

Because DNS is essentially a roadmap for any computer-to-server connections, we can learn a lot about a user's behavior from information leaked through DNS. This is one of the reasons why Cloudflare chose to make the new service available, according to co-founder and CEO Prince.

Cloudflare supports DNS over HTTPS (DNS over HTTPS), an approach that will make us safer.

"We've come to the conclusion that the only way is to run a reliable DNS service, from a division that serves content producers, and as a service for consumers,” said Prince.

On the privacy side, Prince said the company will delete all the logs of the service and will not hold any of the IP addresses that have access to the service.

Users who are interested in trying the new service can click in 1.1.1.1 to find the necessary DNS setup instructions depending on the operating system they are using.
