Summary
Introduced a dedicated DNS page on Cloudflare Radar, leveraging data from the 1.1.1.1 resolver and the AS112 Project. This page provides detailed insights into DNS traffic trends, including global, location, and ASN traffic, protocol usage (UDP, DoT, DoH, TCP), query and response characteristics (record types like A, AAAA, HTTPS), and DNSSEC usage. The post details the analysis of this data, including its use for identifying ccTLD popularity and corroborating reported Internet outages or blocking of 1.1.1.1.
