This article will guide you on how to change your DNS to 1.1.1.1 on your phone.
1. What is DNS 1.1.1.1?
DNS stands for Domain Name System, a system for managing and resolving domain names. Simply put, this system converts website addresses from text (like www.TipsMake.com ) to numerical addresses (IP addresses) to access the servers containing the data – and vice versa. There are many professional DNS services such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8), OpenDNS (208.67.222.222), and CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1).
DNS 1.1.1.1 is CloudFlare's domain name resolution service designed to speed up internet access and enhance security.
