DNS 1.1.1.1 CloudFlare на Android и iOS
CloudFlare запустил свою службу DNS-резолвинга 1.1.1.1 еще в апреле 2018 года как более быструю и безопасную альтернативу DNS вашего интернет-провайдера, общедоступного DNS Google и даже OpenDNS от Cisco.
На сегодняшний день это самый быстрый сервис DNS с упором на конфиденциальность данных. Компания делает акцент на безопасности пользователей и обещает удалять все данные DNS-запросов по истечении 24 часов.
DNS 1.1.1.1 CloudFlare
В основе работы сервиса лежит open source DNS-сервер Knot Resolver. Компания CloudFlare воспользовалась им, так как он имеет почти все нужные ей функции, а также использует модульную архитектуру. DNS-сервер Cloudflare использует протоколы DNS-over-TLS и DNS-over-HTTPS.
На момент написания статьи общемировая задержка 1.1.1.1 составляет 14 мс. Это меньше показателей популярных OpenDNS (20 мс) и Google DNS (34 мс), что делает его самым быстрым DNS-сервером.
Хотя создание бесплатной службы на компьютерах было простым процессом, было сложно и практически невозможно настроить 1.1.1.1 на Android и iOS. Однако Cloudflare предоставила приложение для обеих платформ, чтобы упростить настройку вашего телефона или планшета для использования DNS-адреса 1.1.1.1.
Как настроить 1.1.1.1 CloudFlare DNS на телефоне
Процесс переключения IP-адреса DNS по умолчанию в 1.1.1.1 CloudFlare очень прост.
- Загрузите приложение из Google Play или iTunes
- Откройте приложение 1.1.1.1.
- Нажмите кнопку OK, чтобы разрешить настройку подключения VPN
- Переключите ползунок в положение «On»
Вместо того, чтобы изменять сетевые настройки на вашем устройстве, мобильное приложение использует функции VPN для инкапсуляции и маршрутизации трафика в DNS 1.1.1.1, что сделает невозможным отслеживание вашей онлайн-активности со стороны провайдера.
Нажав на кнопку в нижней части экрана «Три полоски», а затем выбрав пункт «Advanced», вы можете просмотреть информацию о подключении и настроить шифрование.
Пункт «Logs» отображает информацию об отладке, которая может оказаться полезной для устранения неполадок и устранения проблем с подключением (данная информация автоматически удаляется каждые 24 часа).
Set up 1.1.1.1 — Android
Open external link is the preferred method of setting up 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver and 1.1.1.1 for Families. It allows you to automatically configure your phone to use 1.1.1.1 on any network you connect to.
The app also allows you to enable encryption for DNS queries or enable WARP mode , which keeps all your HTTP traffic private and secure, including your DNS queries to 1.1.1.1.
You can select between the options available in the app’s settings. By default, 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet is configured to WARP mode.
Set up 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet
- Download 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet from Google Play External link icon
Your connection to the Internet and your DNS queries are now protected.
Enable 1.1.1.1 for Families
- Open 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet.
- Tap the menu button.
- Select Advanced >Connection options.
- In DNS settings >1.1.1.1 for Families, select the option you want to use.
Configure 1.1.1.1 manually
Android 9 Pie or later
- Go to Settings >Network & internet.
- Select Advanced >Private DNS.
- Select the Private DNS provider hostname option.
- Enter one.one.one.one or 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com and press Save.
Previous Android versions
- Open Settings >WiFi.
- Press down and hold the name of the network you are currently connected to.
- Select Modify Network.
- Select the checkbox Show Advanced Options.
- Change the IP Settings to Static.
Depending on what you want to configure, choose one of the following DNS addresses for IPv4: Use 1.1.1.1 resolver
Depending on what you want to configure, choose one of the following DNS addresses for IPv6: Use 1.1.1.1 resolver
Setting up a static IP address to configure a DNS server may prevent you from connecting to some public WiFi networks that use captive portals — these are the web pages some wireless networks employ to let users log in and use their services.
How to Setup Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS on iOS and Android
Cloudflare has announced its own DNS service 1.1.1.1, claiming it to be the fastest and privacy-first consumer DNS service. Though alternatives like Google DNS and Open DNS already exist, Cloudflare is mainly focussing on the privacy problem. Built with a partnership between Cloudflare and APNIC, the 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver supports both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS for enhanced security. Cloudflare’s DNS currently ranks fastest with a global response time of 14ms, compared to 20ms for Open DNS and 34ms for Google DNS. You can read detailed info on the announcement blog post and the official 1.1.1.1 site.
Cloudflare DNS uses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for IPv4 and 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001 for IPv6 connections. Perhaps, if you wish to switch from your default ISP DNS or any other custom DNS to Cloudflare then you can do so across different platforms. Let’s see how to do so on iOS and Android.
How to add Cloudflare DNS on iPhone & iPad
- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap on the preferred Wi-Fi network.
- Tap on Configure DNS and select Manual.
- Under DNS Servers, delete any existing entries if any by tapping the red minus button.
- Tap on Add Server and type 1.1.1.1.
- Tap on Add Server again and type 1.0.0.1.
- Tap the Save button on the top right.
Add Cloudflare DNS on Android
- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and long tap on the connected network.
- Select Modify network.
- Tap on Advanced options and change IP settings to Static.
- Scroll down and type 1.1.1.1 in DNS 1 and 1.0.0.1 in DNS 2 tab. Tap Save.
That’s it! You’ve switched to Cloudflare DNS on your mobile device. Now enjoy faster and more private DNS servers. Do note that the changes apply only to the specific Wi-Fi connection and not to other wireless connections that you might be using. You have to manually add the DNS for all the desired Wi-Fi networks in that case. Moreover, the DNS will be active only for Wi-Fi connections and not while accessing the Internet over 3G or 4G LTE.
Alternatively, you can rather configure your router’s DNS to make sure all the connected devices on that network run on Cloudflare DNS. This way you don’t have to manually configure the DNS for all the devices individually.
