Internet is not private. There are cybersecurity threats, privacy threats, tracking and many
other privacy concerns which you might not be aware of. The websites you visit, your ISP or mobile operator can log your activities. This includes
your web activities, location, browsing behavior, your interests and almost everything you do
online. Even if you are browsing in incognito mode, your ISP knows what you are visiting
by logging the DNS queries. This does not mean that they can read your emails, chats
or anything protected by a password, but they know what websites you are visiting and all
the incoming and outgoing traffic from your devices. Your ISP might send you data, find a way to monetize your web activities or it may leak
your data to any private or government agencies on request. In simple terms, privacy is missed
if you are online. Your browsing history can be tracked, your location can be tracked
or simply you can say your web activities are not private by default
Your data can be used for targeted ads, it can be used to manipulate you. Manipulation
in a way that these companies will make you believe that whatever you are doing is correct
and the world is doing that, even if you are wrong. Also, you can say that Google and Meta
knows you better than you know yourself. Ok, but how to stay private on the internet? The answer is custom DNS by Cloudflare, which
is 1.1.1.1. But what is DNS? Simply, DNS is the directory of the internet. See, whenever you click on a link, send an
email or open a mobile app, one of the first things that has to happen is your device needs
to look up the address of a domain where the website or the app is hosted
Now, there are two types of DNS networks. First one is authoritative DNS or you can
say content type. This DNS is used by the websites, mobile apps or you can say content
types which provides you content. And the second type of DNS is DNS resolver or you
can say consumer type which are used by your devices. Now, we can use the DNS resolver by Cloudflare, which does not log your web activities, has
faster speed than your ISP's DNS. It makes your internet faster and safer
Now, let's see how you can use Cloudflare DNS and how you can setup it and what are
the advantages of Cloudflare DNS. First, let me go to the search and search for control panel. I am on Windows computer
but it will work on every device. So, let me go to my network and then properties and
internet protocol version 4. Right now, you can see that DNS server is collected as automatic
That means it is using the DNS resolver by my ISP. Alright, before changing the DNS server to the Cloudflare DNS, let me check the internet
speed on my ISP's DNS. Right now, I am getting 31.48 Mbps of download speed and 34.35 Mbps of upload speed and the
speed is 36 milliseconds. Now, let me change the DNS to the Cloudflare DNS. Use the custom DNS and the DNS values
are 1.1.1.1 and then 1.0.0.1. Hit OK to apply all the changes
Now, let's check the internet speed after changing the DNS to the Cloudflare DNS
Now, I can see that download speed is bit better than whatever I was getting from my
ISP's DNS and upload speed is same and the ping has dropped by 3 milliseconds which is
actually good and this is not a single take, I did multiple takes and the Cloudflare DNS
was always better. Now, this is not the only thing you can do with the custom DNS of Cloudflare. You can
use their apps to get more features. I have changed the DNS to default one again. Now, let's search for Cloudflare DNS
You can read more about the Cloudflare DNS and how does it help you to stay private on
the internet by going to their blog. I will provide the link in video description or you
can simply search on the Google. Now, we need to go to 1.1.1.1 in the browser address bar or you can click on this link
Now, it will take you to this page where you can download the Cloudflare app. It is available
for major operating systems so you don't have to worry about that. If you want you can read
more about 1.1.1.1 on this page as well. You see this DNS 1.1.1.1 comes with WARP protocol as well. WARP is kind of VPN which encrypts
your outgoing traffic. You can use 4 times 1 separately or you can use it along with
WARP protocol to make your internet private by encrypting all outgoing traffic from your
devices. And this service is totally free, you don't have to pay for anything. Although
they have paved the subscription plan which is called WARP Plus where all the websites
which are using Cloudflare's authority DNS will load faster on your devices. See 30
of the websites on the planet are using Cloudflare's DNS that is HOOT and all those websites will
load faster on your devices if you are using WARP Plus subscription. You can see the ping
speed between Cloudflare DNS, Google DNS, OpenDNS and Verify. Now let's go ahead and
download the app. I am on Windows so I will download the Windows app. And the installation
is pretty easy. You just have to follow the on-screen instructions. And if you are on
Windows computer you will get the Cloudflare's icon on the system tray. Let's click on it
What is WARP? You can read more about WARP if you want. Accept the privacy terms. Now
it will register your computer device. Let's connect it. Now the 4 times 1 is connected
along with WARP. That means your internet is private. Your outgoing traffic is private
Now let's check the internet speed. How does it affect the internet speed
You can see the ping is 73 ms which is higher than what we were getting with Cloudflare's 4 times 1 and ISP
DNS. And download speed and upload speed is bit lower. So WARP with 4 times 1 will make
your internet little bit slower and the ping would be little higher. But if you use 4 times
1 only your internet speed will be better and the ping would be lower. Now let's open
the Cloudflare app. And from here you can change between 4 times 1 or 4 times 1 with
WARP. If you select 4 times 1 only then your DNS queries will be private. That means your
ISPs won't be able to log your information. They won't be able to log your DNS queries
That means they won't know whatever you are doing on the web. Now you can switch between
4 times 1 and 4 times 1 with WARP. 4 times 1 only is faster but let's try it. 4 times
1 with WARP is totally private but little bit slower. Now let's go to the preferences
where you can get some other options. And then connection tab. If you click on connection
tab you will get DNS protocol. Currently WARP is selected. There is an option 4 times 1
for families where you can select block malware and adult content. Like if you are a parent
who wants to block the adult content for your kids then you can simply do that from here
Now whenever they will search or you will search for any adult content it won't show
you any result and it won't open the direct links as well. So using the 4 times 1 will
make your internet faster and safer. And if you use it along with WARP then it will make
your internet totally private but internet speed will be little slower. If you are a
gamer you can use 4 times 1 to reduce the ping speed as well. If you are a gamer then
you know every millisecond counts. So gamers can take advantage of 4 times 1 as well. There
is one more advantage as well. Like all the websites which are using the cloud player
DNS like my website uses the cloud player DNS and it will load faster on my device if
I am using the DNS resolver by cloud player which is 4 times 1. So every website that
are using cloud player DNS or 30 DNS will load faster on the devices which are using
cloud player DNS resolver. So this is how you can take advantage of 4 times 1 by cloud
player with or without WARP. WARP is kind of VPN which does not hide your IP address
but it encrypts all your incoming and outgoing traffic from your devices. And one thing you
should remember that this will encrypt your outgoing traffic and help you to stay private
and safer on the internet. But if you are using social media like Instagram to share
photos with your location on then forget about privacy. And if you found this video
helpful share with your friends and family to make them safer on the internet. And that's
