Given the number of people that still can't route to 1.1.1.1, this is an interesting backup!

Interested to see who that might be, it seems a bit nuts that that wouldn't work.

I mentioned this in the other thread yesterday, but my AT&T gigapower router is hard coded with 1.1.1.1 on an internal interface, so I can't use it. I can still use 1.0.0.1 though.

Great! Now the whole world can see which domains you are interested in. This is supposed to be some last resort backup when all other DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and others) are down or blocked? In that extreme case of unavailability, what is the guarantee that local Govt is not involved and Twitter and/or sms to Twitter is not blocked. Am I missing any use case here?

Perdy sure the twitter bot is a 'joke'.

How do you get a query to through?

Tweet to @1111Resolver followed by the DNS Record type and the Domain Name. Example: @1111Resolver A http://google.com

Not really familiar with twitter, but isn't tweeting directly to someone public? As in, everybody sees what you are trying to resolve?

Wow, AT&T of all people should know better. I mean, I understand the attraction to that address for customer setup reasons, and bypassing different configured NAT address ranges (i.e. 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16 networks), but surely a customer who configures a custom address range would be capable of finding the new address.

Here's hoping that as IPv6 becomes ubiquitous, this is replaced broadly with something standard, possibly based on ND.

Nope, its real. Slow but real. It makes a good backup DNS so you could use it to manually update your 'hosts' files.

What I really need is DNS over Fax.

I'm sure there's a fax to twitter gateway somewhere.

Is there any difference between which address you list first in your DNS list (1.0.0.1 and 1.1.1.1)? I saw a suggestion to list 1.0.0.1 first since it likely gets much less traffic.

It depends on your OS, but back in this thread the answer apparently should be no. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15228940

And to help march towards ubiquity shouldn't we be encouraging IPv6-connected users to point to 2606:4700:4700::1111

Less junk traffic, less latency for folk behind CGNAT on IPv6-only mobile networks, no chance of collision with poorly a configured network equipment.

I switched to IPv6, and then back to v4. IPv6 just isn't ready for prime time yet. The random timeouts waiting for it to fall back to v4 when the v6 endpoint was down was annoying enough to get me to switch back.

I'll try it again in another year.

The last place I worked at, we 7.x.x.x network for MPLS stuff.
