How to set up Cloudflare Family DNS over TLS

Did you know that the DNS server our devices uses is offered via our internet provider? In order to use 1.1.1.1 for our DNS queries, we have to change the DSN settings in our router or device.

Furthermore, we can set up 1.1.1.1 for Families for an additional layer of protection for the home network against adult content as well as malware. In fact, 1.1.1.1 for Families takes advantage of Cloudflare’s global network to make sure it is fast and secure. Moreover, it also gets access to the strong privacy guarantees by Cloudflare.

Additionally, 1.1.1.1 for Families supports DoT if we have an accommodating client like a compatible DoT router. In simpler terms, DNS over TLS or DoT is an IELF standard that offers full-stream encryption between a DNS server and a DNS client.

Furthermore, DoT permits us to encrypt our DNS queries, thereby protecting us from malicious attacks, spoofing, and so on.

In order to use DoT with Cloudflare Families, we can use the following URLs:

• Block malware and adult content
  • 1.1.1.3
  • 1.0.0.3
  • family.cloudflare-dns.com
• Block malware
  • 1.1.1.2
  • 1.0.0.2
  • security.cloudflare-dns.com

We can use them with Android with these steps, courtesy of our Support Team:

1. First, navigate to Settings > Network & internet > Advanced > Private DNS on the device.

   
2. Next, choose the Private DNS provider hostname option.
3. Then, enter 1family.cloudflare-dns.com and click Save.
4. Finally, head to 1.1.1.1/help to ensure that “Using DNS over TLS (DoT)” is set as “Yes”.
