1.1.1.1, operated by Cloudflare, is a public recursive Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. Its primary purpose is to translate human-readable domain names (like google.com) into machine-readable IP addresses (like 172.217.160.142), enabling internet browsing. It aims to provide faster, more private, and more secure DNS resolution compared to many ISP-provided DNS servers.
