gwalchmai Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Anyone using Cloudfare for DNS? I changed my router to it this morning and it seems fast as anything (I was using Google, and have used OpenDNS, among others). Plus, I like their privacy ideas. Privacy is always good for its own sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood has people that found that out a while ago. When you share something, it's not ALL yours! Remember, Norton was hacked some time ago and everybody thinks they are a secure company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You understand that Cloudflare is a DNS service, and you're not storing any files there? Also, if you are using the internet you are using a DNS service somewhere, and if you're using your ISP's default it's likely not encrypted, so it's susceptible to 3rd party snooping. This snooping is probably not a big deal, but since Cloudflare is available, free, and faster than most defaults it's likely worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
