This is one of the things I love about HN - someone can post an inane and inaccurate slam of a free service, and the CEO of the company providing said service responds in a clear and friendly manner.
- jahvo 9y agoIt's not inane and inaccurate, I also think running a DNS on 1.1.1.1 is fucking stupid
- eropple 9y agoWhy, exactly? Be specific.
- jahvo 9y agoIt's a weird address that was going to cause problems like this
- ukblewis 9y agoBut exactly like the commenter stated. Part of the goal is to fix IPs like this being inaccesible. This DNS is both easy to access and using what should be, a perfectly accessible IP
- saagarjha 9y agoIt's a nice, short, memorable address that Cloudflare has every right to use. What's wrong here?
- asdsa5325 9y agoWhat's weird about it? It's a valid IP address, the fact that they are all 1's isn't noteworthy except it's easy to remember.
- mirimir 9y agoIt seems a somewhat popular pattern for DNS: 1.1.1.1 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com 2.2.2.2 not found 3.3.3.3 not found 4.4.4.4 not found 5.5.5.5 not found 6.6.6.6 not found 7.7.7.7 not found 8.8.8.8 google-public-dns-a.google.com 9.9.9.9 dns.quad9.net
- yubiox 9y agoBecause some ATT and Cisco devices use that address already. There is no reason to need to remember it.
