New privacy first DNS from Cloudflare 1.1.1.1

[a-b]

Cloudflare lunched privacy first DNS 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

You can find out more https://1.1.1.1 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16727869

 

I would love to hear thoughts on how are they comparing to TorGuard DNS?

Hello,

They look promising - i can't tell you how they compare until we do some testing.

Were there ever any test results for performance between 1.1.1.1 and Torguard Public DNS?

Hoping to get an answer from this too, I am using 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

You could test it and check which one works for you best, here you can see benchmarks by namebench as well as I attached the results file in the attachment. Beside namebench, you could also run DNS nameserver benchmark, dns jumper, CDFPerf, DNSPerf to find out more.

Thank you for sharing your benchmark tests! I always used 1.1.1.1 but now trying the 10.8.0.1 Torguard internal DNS, web browsing seems to be very fast!

You are welcome.

Some info just as note:

primary dns: 10.9.0.1

secondary dns: 10.8.0.1

Maybe it is also good to know that you can use those as socks/http/https proxy. Few days ago when I tested something, only default http port worked (6060), https and socks do not work for now with default ports, if they do at all, then at some other ports, best is if you ask support about which ports are used on internal server.

http proxy: 10.9.0.1:6060 and 10.8.0.1:6060 (be aware that this proxy will only work when you are connected to vpn).

Does TorGuard public DNS allow DNS over TLS though?  I'm currently using cloudflare DNS for when i'm not connected via vpn using DNS over TLS feature with my router.

So far I know, none of TorGuard's DNS servers support it, but if ever enabled, you will be able to test it, in the link above provided benchmarking dns servers you clearly can see:

dnseval --dnssec -t A --tls --color -f public-servers.txt -c10 ripe.net
server              avg(ms)     min(ms)     max(ms)     stddev(ms)  lost(%)  ttl        flags                  response
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.9.0.1            0.000       0.000       0.000       0.000       %100     N/A        -- -- -- -- -- -- --   No Response         
1.0.0.1             155.279     147.358     170.329     7.124       %0       296        QR -- -- RD RA AD --   NOERROR             
1.1.1.1             187.067     146.294     236.867     36.326      %0       293        QR -- -- RD RA AD --   NOERROR             

 

I did not test all torguard's servers, assume none of them supports TLS.
