Cloudflare, a very well-known company launched 1.1.1.1—world’s fastest and privacy-focused secure DNS service that not only speeds up your internet connection but also makes it harder for ISPs to track your web history.

Cloudflare public DNS resolvers, 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (as alternate DNS server for redundancy), support both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS to ensure maximum privacy.

# **How To Setup 1.1.1.1 Privacy DNS Servers on your Device**

9. Replace those addresses with the 1.1.1.1 DNS addresses:

- For IPv4: **1.1.1.1** and **1.0.0.1**
- For IPv6: **2606:4700:4700::1111** and **2606:4700:4700::1001**

1. Click **OK** , then **Close**.
2. Restart your browser.

### **Setup 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers on Linux**

While these steps are for Ubuntu, most Linux distributions configure DNS settings through the Network Manager. Alternatively, your DNS settings can be specified in `/etc/resolv.conf`

1. Click the Applications icon on the left menu bar.
2. Click **Settings** , then **Network**.
3. Find your internet connection on the right pane, then click the gear icon.

### **Setup 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers on Android**

Note that Android requires a static IP to use custom DNS servers. This setup requires additional setup on your router, affecting your network’s strategy for adding new devices to the network. We recommend configuring your Router’s DNS instead. This will give all devices on your network the full speed and privacy benefits of 1.1.1.1 DNS.

1. Connect to your preferred wireless network.
2. Enter your router’s gateway IP address in your browser.
3. If prompted, fill in your username and password. This information may be labeled on the router.
4. In your router’s configuration page, locate the **DNS server** settings.
5. Write down any existing DNS server entries for future reference.
6. Replace those addresses with the 1.1.1.1 DNS addresses:

- For IPv4: **1.1.1.1** and **1.0.0.1**
- For IPv6: **2606:4700:4700::1111** and **2606:4700:4700::1001**

1. Save your settings, then restart your browser.
2. You’re all set! Your device now has faster, more private DNS servers ✌✌

### **Setup 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers for iOS / iPhones**

1. From your iPhone’s home screen, open the **Settings** app.
2. Tap **Wi-Fi** , then tap your preferred network in the list.
3. Tap **Configure DNS** , then tap **Manual**.
4. If there are any existing entries, tap the **–** button, and **Delete** next to each one.
5. Tap the **+ Add Server** button, then type **1.1.1.1**
6. Tap the **+ Add Server** button again, then type **1.0.0.1**. This is for redundancy.
7. Tap the **Save** button on the top right.
8. You’re all set! Your device now has faster, more private DNS servers ✌✌

### **Setup 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers for MAC-OS**

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Search for **DNS Servers** and select it from the dropdown.
3. Click the **+** button to add a DNS Server and enter **1.1.1.1**
4. Click **+** again and enter **1.0.0.1** (This is for redundancy.)
5. Click **Ok** , then click **Apply**.
6. You’re all set! Your device now has faster, more private DNS servers ✌✌

### **Setup 1.1.1.1 DNS Server for Routers**

Your router’s configuration may vary. Consult your manual for more information.

1. Connect to your preferred wireless network.
2. Enter your router’s gateway IP address in your browser.
3. If prompted, fill in your username and password. This information may be labeled on the router.

How to verify, whether working or not? Does it work without configuring at router DNS.

Or else You can use this tool, by Steve Gibson. [DNS BENCHMARK](https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm)  
I’ve been using this for a long time, it will test various dns providers (they have more than 4000 of them), and best part is the program test all of those for YOUR network and list them from best to not very best,  
for me 1.1.1.1 was best one then cisco’s dns then google,  
I dont trust google a bit so i wont use it even if its the fastest.
