Free DNS 1.1.1 1 and 8.8.8.8

1.1. 1.1 is a free, public DNS resolver from Cloudflare and Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) that could make your searches faster and more secure. But the product won’t work for everyone, and some have concerns about how it will use their data.

Changing your DNS to 8.8 8.8 sets your DNS server to Google Public DNS. This allows your device to bypass the DNS server provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and instead use Google’s DNS services. This can improve your internet connection speeds and provide faster access to websites.
