My parent company uses 1.1.1.1 as a captive portal address on the guest network. Easy to remember, but cloudflare probably needs to stand up some more conventional DNS ips.


No your parent company needs to stop abusing that IP.

Cloudflare is using a conventional IP, you are the one that isn't.


I wasn't disagreeing...? They're using an IP that wasn't assigned by IANA.


What exactly do you mean by “wasn’t assigned”? According to this article [1], 1/8 was reserved in 1981. Only from 2008 to 2010 was 1.1.1.0/24 ever truly unallocated.

If, after 8 years, most providers still haven’t moved to either private networks or officially assigned networks, honestly – they suck.

Cloudflare already have IPv6.
