CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 DNS Service

[popcorn]

Actually i am using it for my son. He keeps a track of all apps. but this hidden setting down under is the area he would not experiment and hence using cleanbrowsing quietly and is working well. The lag is no issue there..

DOH
Coming to main point, I think Google has rivalry with mainly cloudflare as firefox by default uses the doh with cloudflare. In Chrome DOH is still not available to public unless you use the experiment settings. But it still fails to capture end point of cloudflare family security and uses pure 1.1.1.1 end point automatically. This Automatic capture of end points make it unreliable as they would only work if you have your local DNS set to either cloudflare/opendns/cleanbrowsing and google.

TLS
Atleast in Samsung, the cloudflare family does not connect. I have same feeling like DOH. The Automatic setting in Private DNS is for getting end points automatically if the device identifies that user is using either cloudflare/opendns/google/Clean browsing and automatically convert it to the TLS versions without checking that the family variants are required or generic versions. It will take few months for them to come to proper agreements and policy and then release versions/update addressing this

I am confused. 1.1.1.1 for Families doesn't support internal android private DNS feature at the moment. There is no automatic switching to doh or dot in Android. Windows 10 is planning to take that route.

You should check out Cloudflare Gateway or NextDNS if your aim is to have a kid friendly dns

Its auto upgradable in Automatic setting in Chrome & Edge as far I researched.
But many questions are un answered as its not public yet. Firefox & Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 support doh in new releases since long time.
Windows 10 will address this issue as their Insider program is already work in progress. You can join insider program and tweak few regedit entries. (Thought I have stopped doing it as I once had to format my pc)

My understanding is that automatic setting in Android is in principle lines with the Auto upgrade of DOH in browsers. But I am not sure !!

you can set it manually in both chrome/firefox. and of course android 9+. only windows is sticking with auto-upgrade system without providing a dedicated field for private dns it seems.

No idea what Cloudflare keeps doing these days. To me, these sound like, wow a cool new acronym to forget.
