Want to say GOODBYE to your ISP tracking you and selling your data? And don't want it slowed down by a VPN, but instead, nearly twice as fast?

Check out the Cloudfare 1.1.1.1 app.

I put it on my Android phone. Pages load much, much faster than before.

It wants to disable the VPN on my iPhone to encrypt DNS and only DNS traffic. No thanks! I do have my router set to 1.1.1.1, so I'm covered at home anyway. Don't really see the point of this app.

Mainly for people who don't know how to change their DNS servers on their phone.

And aren't using a VPN app

So now Cloudfare tracks all your data and sells it?

No thanks.

First it's CloudfLare and second they're a very well known and respected IT company used in some way by just about every major corporation.

Installed it and it's working great. Thanks for the heads up hubba.

Installed and running and I am absolutely impressed.

However, I did have a few incidents where it seemed like there was an outage. All my other apps that rely on DNS quit working. Disabled the app and everything went back working. Re-enabled it and it quit. Waited a while to turn it back on and it worked fine from then on. Anyone else experience short outages over the last few days?

I changed the dns to 1.1.1.1. on my iPhone for one of my normal WiFi’s. Also have a VPN app on the phone that is always on.

Sometimes it takes more that 15-20 seconds to connect on that WiFi. Not sure if it may be something else but it’s starting to get aggravating.
