The Domain Name System (DNS) is what converts domain names into IP addresses. (We’re talking milliseconds here.) But it doesn’t take many steps to test out a new DNS, so it’s probably worth a quick try if you’re curious or sold on Cloudflare’s privacy measures.
Now, those speed differences might not be significant or noticeable enough to the point of making the switch full-time. A couple days ago, Cloudflare launched its own DNS service at 1.1.1.1, promising that consumers would enjoy greater privacy and potentially faster internet if they switched over from their ISP’s default.
