1.1.1.1 is a free Domain Name System (DNS) service by the American company Cloudflare in partnership with APNIC. [ 7 ] [ needs update ] The service functions as a recursive name server , providing domain name resolution for any host on the Internet .
The owner of self-serve web archiving tool Archive.today has expressed concern over Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 not passing the contents of this field on to the authoritative DNS server for Archive.today, and has in response configured the site's authoritative DNS servers to consider Cloudflare DNS requests invalid—effectively blocking 1.1.1.1 from resolving the website DNS records.
A public recursive name server (also called public DNS resolver) is a name server service that networked computers may use to query the Domain Name System (DNS), the decentralized Internet naming system, in place of (or in addition to) name servers operated by the local Internet service provider (ISP) to which the devices are connected.
In a recursive query, a DNS resolver queries a single DNS server, which may in turn query other DNS servers on behalf of the requester. For example, a simple stub resolver running on a home router typically makes a recursive query to the DNS server run by the user's ISP. A recursive query is one for which the DNS server answers the query ...
For instance, nameserver 1.1.1.1 configures the resolver to query for the name server with IP 1.1.1.1. Additional nameserver directives after the first are only used when the first or last used server is unavailable. An example file is: search example.com local.test nameserver 10.0.0.17 nameserver 10.1.0.12 nameserver 10.16.0.7
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System (DNS) resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks [1] by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.

A network and wildcard mask combination of 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 would match an interface configured exactly with 1.1.1.1 only, and nothing else. Wildcard masks are used in situations where subnet masks may not apply. For example, when two affected hosts fall in different subnets, the use of a wildcard mask will group them together.
A root name server is a name server for the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. It directly answers requests for records in the root zone and answers other requests by returning a list of the authoritative name servers for the appropriate top-level domain (TLD).
