Private DNS on Android refers to 'DNS over HTTPS' and would normally only accept a hostname. Normal DNS can normally be changed in your connection settings for a given connection on most flavours of Android.

Interesting to see that they probably lost 20% of 1.1.1.1 usage from a roughly 20 minute incident. Not sure how cloudflare keeps struggling with issues like these, this isn't the first (and probably won't be the last) time they have these 'simple', 'deprecated', 'legacy' issues occuring. 8.8.8.8+8.8.4.4 hasn't had a global(1) second of downtime for almost a decade. 1: localized issues did exist, but that's really the…

Having users complain stuff take age to load because you got matched to an IP on opposite side of planet is a bit problematic especially when it rarely happen on other dns providers. Maybe there is a way to fix this but I admit I went for the easier option of going back to good old 8…

HN users might prefer to run their own. It's a low maintenance service. It's not like running a mail server.
