DNS (Domain Name System) describes the directory of the Internet. Whenever you click on a link, send an email, open a mobile app, often one of the first things that have to happen is your device needs to look up the address of a domain. Using a DNS resolver like 1.1.1.1 will protect your browsing history from Internet Service Providers and Hackers.

Cloudflare is a company that offers a wider range of services for both everyday web surfers and website developers, allowing it to make 1.1.1.1 "free for life", with no in-app purchases or upsells. 

The millions of sites on Cloudflare get a much-appreciated performance boost when visited by 1.1.1.1 users, the company’s network grows in both size and reliability, while users receive peace of mind, as well as improved speeds.

While using a DNS resolver isn't as secure as using a VPN service like Hidester or ExpressVPN, it’s a great first step towards a "faster, more private Internet."
