Introduced a Tor onion service for the 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver, accessible via dns4torpnlfs2ifuz2s2yf3fc7rdmsbhm6rw75euj35pac6ap25zgqad.onion and tor.cloudflare-dns.com. This service routes DNS queries through the Tor network to enhance user anonymity, preventing the resolver from seeing client IP addresses and shielding queries from ISPs and malicious Tor exit nodes.
