Months after announcing its privacy-focused DNS service, Cloudflare is bringing 1.1.1.1 to mobile users for iOS and Android.
The app is now available for iPhones, iPads and Android devices to make it easier for anyone to use its free consumer DNS service. The app is also a one-button toggle switch to turn on and off and is accessible for VoiceOver and TalkBack users.
In using the service, you let Cloudflare handle all of your DNS information, like when an app on your phone tries to connect to the internet, or you type in the web address of any site. By funneling that DNS data through 1.1.1.1, it can make it more difficult for your internet provider to know which sites you are visiting, and also ensure that you can get to the site you want without having your connection tracked by advertisers.
“We launched 1.1.1.1 to offer consumers everywhere a better choice for fast and private Internet browsing,” said Matthew Prince, Cloudflare chief executive. “The 1.1.1.1 app makes it even easier for users to unlock fast and encrypted DNS on their phones.”
You can download the app from Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store.
