#82This is the Cloudflare resolver, right? What's the "privacy-first" part about? It's just another third party DNS host. They haven't changed the protocol to be uninspectable and AFAIK haven't made any guarantees about logging or whatnot that would enhance privacy vs. using whatever you are now. This just means you're trusting Cloudflare instead of Comcast or Google or whoever.
"We will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you). And we’re not just saying that. We’ve retained KPMG to audit our systems annually to ensure that we're doing what we say." Now, audits are generally not worth very much (even, perhaps even especially, from a Big Four group like KPMG), but for this type of thing (verifying that a company isn't doing something they promised they would not do) th…

#83This is bad, bad, bad advice. You don't set the DNS on your local machine. That breaks things. The DNS needs to be set at the gateway. If you change your PC/mac's DNS to an external service, you won't be able to resolve any addresses on the local network. Come on, CloudFlare. You guys know better than that. Please stop breaking the (local) internet.

> We will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you)
Never log IP != Never log anything
Bonus: The way other companies identify you ~= There are other ways
Edit: Looks like many people assume I'm nitpicking. So here are more specific questions:
* Is logging a hashcode of the IP considered as "not logging the IP"?
* Can combination of timestamp, packet info other than end IP (latency, hops, etc), geoIP and other factors be used for deep intelligence?

#86uhm how can you get an ssl cert for an IP?
>"4.2.1.6. Subject Alternative Name The subject alternative name extension allows identities to be bound to the subject of the certificate. These identities may be included in addition to or in place of the identity in the subject field of the certificate. Defined options include an Internet electronic mail address, a DNS name, an IP address, and a Uniform Resource Identifier(URI). Other options exist, including completely local definitions."[1]

#88I am getting ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID because my ISP-provided router is intercepting the connection and trying to show me a "helpful" configuration wizard. No Cloudflare DNS for me. To be explicit: This is not Cloudflare's fault and we should blame the manufacturer of the router, or the ISP for deploying their custom "friendly" settings. But it is what it is.
Edit: 1.0.0.1 also takes me to the router configuration screen. And there's no configuration setting for it. :(

Do you have any actual points against or are you just trying to nitpick? And do you have anything better?
