    Hi there

    Cloudflare can (and has been) a problem quite a few times as that well known site using images of "the Jolly Roger" uses it for scrambling some of their servers to bypass some countries national blocks.

    Sometimes it's out of action while "T** Pi***E B** looks for another host address and FBI etc check the cloudflare servers.

    Also sometimes it wants those wretched Captcha things - I always have great difficulty with those and they just seem to go on and on without ever being satisfied.

    Seriously though IMO Google's public DNS servers are fine - especially the IVP6 ones.

    Cheers

    I've had zero issues with 1.1.1.1 and use Google as my fall over DNS backup (which so far hasn't been necessary, famous last words...)

    I fortunately/unfortunately do not need to concern myself with cloud image storage. By the time I downloaded an image MS would likely have released two newer iterations of the OS!

    I mentioned documents/files not OS images, which you are right would take ages!
    The point was to take advantage of the file versioning across the huge RAID arrays and shingling that data centres can do but which is very hard to duplicate in a home or SOHO set up.

    I know zip about this other than some servers are a lot quicker than others. And, if you don't know what you're doing (me), best to leave well enough alone.

    That said, when DNS Speed Test (DNS Speed Test to Check DNS Hosting Speed | UltraTools) asks for the domain address, what domain are they talking about? Your ISP?

    If you have DNS with your ISP and they keep logs then there's the potential for them to track your web activity, and by implication anyone else if their data got hacked.
    1.1.1.1 and Google only keep logs for 24/48 hours and do DNS over HTTPS/TLS (encrypted), but of course with Google having such a strong presence in the world of IT then you might not want them being your primary DNS provider either, so for me they are the back up.
    Speed whilst nice to have isn't the primary objective here, privacy/security is. But as with everything else it is never 100%.
