Cloudflare launches 1.1.1.1 DNS service that will speed up your internet

Featured Replies

when i ping couldflare dns vs google, its does show a few milliseconds faster response (~17ms vs 20ms)

 

but what will i do with all those spare milliseconds that i've saved?
 

edit for the real response--

 

i actually switched over and am getting significantly faster page load times.

Not only are they talking about decent speeds, but as well they are talking about how they scrub their info every day so nothing is logged/tracked.. Or something like that. 

Hm, i cant even ping 1.1.1.1???

 

But backup works 1.0.0.1

Ping wird ausgeführt für 1.0.0.1 mit 32 Bytes Daten:
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=29ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=29ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=28ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=99ms TTL=53

 

(which is pretty bad, i guess, that spike)

looks like google cranked up the response from my testing yesterday...

I wear a tinfoil hat (and thus use pihole)

 

 

ping is not a test of dns performance. Checkout DNS Benchmark

...or not use a DNS forwarder at all, run your own resolver.

27 minutes ago, unevent said:

...or not use a DNS forwarder at all, run your own resolver.

Actually I do, but that test was against pihole not bind.

Ofc you cant only determine the speed by ping, but i guess google wont do internally anything different then cloudflare, so i guess, the ping is able to show some performance. But i test with dns benchmark!

 

edit:
The DNS resolver your system is using is responding faster than any of the 100% reliable publicly available alternative DNS nameservers this benchmark utility just tested. Therefore, there would be no performance benefit from switching to any of those publicly available nameservers.

 

yea, like i thought (local DNS is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) i added 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 to the test. 

Edited by nuhll

I get 3ms pings to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1,  34ms pings to 8.8.8.8 and 47ms pings to 8.8.4.4.

 

Repeated tests are consistently within 1ms of those times.  I have to admit 3/4ms is very fast.  Cloudflare would certainly be faster for me than Google DNS.

 

Here are the results of DNS Benchmark (the top entry is my Pihole currently pointing to Google):

Interesting that they have two machines with different IP but same hostname:

My results with Frontier FiOS out of the Seattle area. My pings for Cloudflare & Google were 3-4 ms, with Cloudflare getting about 1ms better on average.

I'm updating my DNS settings to 1.0.0.1 & 8.8.4.4

  • 3 months later...

just  btw, even the ping times are a little lower with this new service, i get from time to time ping loss to 1.1.1.1, but not to 8.8.8.8 results in "this webpage cant be reached" messages fromt ime to time, i switched back to 8.8.8.8 :)
