I’m one of the first 100 users Cloudflare had sign up when it launched. I know because you sent me a t-shirt with my domain (and the 99 others) on it. I switched over to your new DNS service the day it launched. I’m also an AT&T customer both residential and for corporate useage. It’s been fun giving them trouble to get them to route this correctly. Hopefully this is behind us now and the ip becomes properly routable by even larger parts of the Internet as you grow this. One question though, is there a plan to add typo correction? It’s the only thing I miss from using OpenDNS.

Thanks for being an early adopter! I've misplaced my version of that tshirt, which is a serious bummer. Remember working with our designer to hide all the "naughty" domains in the rays of the Cloudflare sun. :-) I doubt we'll do typo correction. We're DNS purists. DNS should answer what you ask. Doing otherwise opens many cans of worms.

  Bummer on the shirt! It is a great design. Although, I'm biased since your team gave my domain a prominent placement. That position on typo correction is a bummer. I fat finger typing domains on occasion and found it handy to have my DNS service take care of that for me. Hopefully in time you guys reconsider. I am sure common errors could be corrected and it would lead to a better browsing experience for folks using your service. Thanks though for making such an excellent service free and fast! Love the work you do!

    How would that even work? You'd get certificate errors on any TLS site with typo-correcting-dns right?

      I think they reply with their own HTTP server IP, which then redirects you to the "correct" address. I assume it breaks if you type a wrong https:// https:// address, but I guess few people do that, they just type the domain and let the site redirect to https:// https:// if needed.
