Cloudflare launches 1.1.1.1 mobile app for its DNS service This one-button DNS app is so easy, you have no excuse not to use it.


Representational Picture
cloudflare launched its 1.1.1.1 DNS service a few months ago — on April Fool's, of all days — with a focus on privacy and speed. Cloudflare put its mobile app into beta a month ago, and now — on 11.11 — it's releasing the 1.1.1.1 mobile app on Google Playand the Apple App Store, and it looks like it's just about the easiest DNS app ever.
One button app
This DNS app is one button. Yup, that's right, one button. Tap it to activate 1.1.1.1 and use its DNS resolver to keep your browsing private. Tap it again to turn it off. So, it's official, you really have no excuse not to use a DNS service when it's this easy — and free, to boot.
Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 has one of the fastest DNS resolvers out there right now, and while DNS services can often be overcomplicated and confusing enough to scare off the people who need to use it most, 1.1.1.1 has kept its service as simplified and welcoming as possible. The ease of the stable app is thanks to the bug-catching and stress-testing of its many beta users, and Cloudflare thanked them for their dedication and help in today's announcement.
A DNS is only as good as the security you're trusting it to use, and Cloudflare takes the browsing security of its users seriously, too, promising: "We will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you). And we're not just saying that. We've retained KPMG to audit our systems annually to ensure that we're doing what we say."

1.1.1.1 is free and works on Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Chromebooks, some internet routers, and Cloudflare also offers developers the tools to integrate 1.1.1.1 DNS security directly into apps and browsers.

PUBG Mobile 0.10.0 update brings Vikendi snow map. Also players who update to version 0.10.0 before December 25 will get an Outfit Box III (7d) x1 and 1,888 BP.










PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) Mobile servers were taken down yesterday for maintenance, they are now back online. The reason for the downtime was caused due to Tencent Games uploading a new version update to the game servers.
PUBG Mobile 0.10.0 update is currently available on both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. The update comes in at 1.6GB for the Android version.
The major change that PUBG Mobile 0.10.0 update brings is the addition of Vikendi map, which is a snow map with a 6x6km size Arctic landscape covered in snow.
It is the fourth map that has been added to the game after Erangel, Miramar and Sanhok. The new map is larger than Sanhok in area, however, it is smaller compared to the much larger Erangel and Miramar.
Player’s who update their games before December 25 will get an Outfit Box III (7d) x1 and 1,888 BP. PUBG PC players will be getting the new Vikendi map on December 19, whereas the Xbox and PS4 owners will be able to get their hands on the new map in January 2019.
PUBG Mobile 0.10.0 update also adds support for the Arabic language, cross-server matchmaking, ability to report suspicious behaviour while in spectator mode, new gun upgrade system and season spending rewards.
The update also adjusts UI elements on smartphone displays with three new customised settings – a 16:9 setting, a “Rounded Corners” setting for 18:9 displays with curved edges and a “Notched” setting that makes sure the elements don’t get hidden under the notch while playing the game.
