Every time I jump onto a plane it’s a chance to re-calculate my life choices and look at things from a different angle. This time around, I’ll be testing out the Google DNS alternative 1.1.1.1 from a technical and personal perspective.
1.1.1.1 for consumers should speed things up a bit and sidestep the monitoring and logging from Internet Service Providers. Naturally, I’ll start with my PS4 and later on selected routers and servers.
Breaking up is hard to do
Leaving the default settings active is the easier thing to do and creates a nice comfort factor as things just work as expected. Messing with your settings and configuration can cause you a world of headaches. As usual, the best practice is backup, backup and then test your backup. Warning: You can “BREAK” your internet connection by messing with DNS.
In the meantime, check 1.1.1.1 for a non-technical guide to a brand new cleaner Internet experience.
