How to set up Cloudflare Family DNS over TLS

1.1.1.1 for Families supports DoT if we have an accommodating client like a compatible DoT router. In simpler terms, DNS over TLS or DoT is an IELF standard that offers full-stream encryption between a DNS server and a DNS client.

Furthermore, DoT permits us to encrypt our DNS queries, thereby protecting us from malicious attacks, spoofing, and so on.

In order to use DoT with Cloudflare Families, we can use the following URLs:

  • Block malware and adult content
    • 1.1.1.3
    • 1.0.0.3
    • family.cloudflare-dns.com
  • Block malware
    • 1.1.1.2
    • 1.0.0.2
    • security.cloudflare-dns.com

Using DoT with Cloudflare Families on Android:

  1. First, navigate to Settings > Network & internet > Advanced > Private DNS on the device.
  2. Next, choose the Private DNS provider hostname option.
  3. Then, enter one of the following and click Save:
    • family.cloudflare-dns.com (Block malware and adult content)
    • security.cloudflare-dns.com (Block malware)
  4. Finally, head to 1.1.1.1/help to ensure that “Using DNS over TLS (DoT)” is set as “Yes”.
