‘Shields Up’ – 1.1.1.1 for families from Cloudflare

With the current heightened security environment, we all want to keep our digital worlds, both home and business, safe and secure. Our partner, Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 for families, leverages their global network to ensure your home network is fast and secure. And best of all it’s free for home use.

1.1.1.1 was originally designed for direct, fast, DNS resolution but now also automatically filters out bad sites, thereby bringing a measure of protection from security threats and keeping adult content from being accessed by children. There are two flavours 1.1.1.2 for no malware and 1.1.1.3 for no malware or adult content.
