Cloudflare’s website provides some more information: https://1.1.1.1/ <https://1.1.1.1/> According to Cloudflare’s CEO, we’ll have more news on 1/4, so in a few days. https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/979257292938911744 From their website I can see that it is a low latency and privacy oriented service. Now whether it’s actually needed, I think there’s place for it in the market. Currently in Greece, 8.8.8.8 is ~65ms away. This is 11ms away. Antonis

We already have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
And 9.9.9.9 and several others public DNS resolvers.
And any reputable company or ISP should be running their own.
I fully agree.
What purpose would this serve?
In Europe, the most common technique of censorship is through lying DNS resolvers. So, in order to go to forbidden Web sites (music and film sharing, for instance), many users switched from the ISP's resolver (which implements the censorship) to a public resolver.
