Configuring with iOS settings sends unencrypted DNS requests to 1.1.1.1 and, as a result, the sites you access can be seen in your internet traffic by people like your Mobile provider (when using mobile internet) or the local cafe (when using their WiFi) or your home ISP (when using your home WiFi).
This app enables your DNS requests to be encrypted. Your requests are still seen by Cloudflare, of course.
Got a follow up question for you... have you guys integrated the IOS into Apple's "Shortcuts" app? This app was created by a 3rd party used to be called Workflow. Apple bought the app 2 years ago or so.
Reason I ask... I have a one-tap shortcut to turn off WIFI and Bluetooth for leaving home. Would be awesome to turn off WIFI / Bluetooth / turn on Cloudfare with a single tap as I head out the door.
I don't need the battery drain from VPN usage while sitting at home, and already have my DNS routed away from my ISP.
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll look into integrating. There shouldn't be notable battery drain from the app though, it's not a VPN in the traditional sense.
Very cool. Thanks. Yeah, in addition to the battery issue (which sounds a nonissue based on your reply) there is the simply issue of me not remembering to turn on / off.
That setting change only changes DNS while on Wifi. IOS offers no direct method of changing DNS while on cellular. Without something like Terminal on an iPhone, pretty difficult to tell which DNS is being used by the iPhone unless the phone is jailbroke. I use an app called Net Analyzer to check various networking configs. I'm not sure even the Cloudflare app is actually changing DNS. Need to do a bit more poking about to figure out what exactly is going on.
Edit: After playing around a bit, with the CloudFlare app alongside Net Analyzer, DNS on cellular appears to modified from my cell provider to what I think is the CloudFlare VPN profile on the device with IP addresses 192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.3, 192.0.2.4.
It installs a VPN policy to do it, that's the only viable method on non-managed devices. There is another big difference as well, the app enables DNS-over-HTTPS which encrypts your DNS traffic.
Thanks! Good info. Yeah, was able to confirm that the Cloudflare app defaulted to DNS over https. That's an improvement over my previous attempts to excise cellular DNS traffic away from my carrier.
Is Cloudflare also servicing internet requests or are requests still being serviced by the cellular providers after DNS is resolved?
Cloudflare is using the NetworkExtension API purely to intercept DNS requests and nothing else. Everything happens on device and not in some remote VPN service.
Your carrier's DNS may or may not be fast depending on how it is set up and who you use. In general 1.1.1.1 is faster than any of the other public DNS resolvers, and does a lot of preemptive caching that it's likely your ISP does not. Of course, it also doesn't sell your data which is a bonus.
Assuming you're living in SF Bay Area with ~120k/year ($10k/month) income:
Your earning after tax is ~$6600 per month. After ~$1800 rent and ~$1700 living costs (transportation, food, utils, ...), you get ~3100 in capital savings.
In Singapore, your personal income tax is nearly zero. To match that savings target and quality of life, you only need to earn SGD 7000 per month (~US $5200/month, or $62k/year) and you gonna spend about $1100 for rent and $900 for everything else (without car).
P/S: I'm a non-US citizen, lived in Philly for 7 years, got 120k offer in SF but declined, now working in Singapore.
I had 6 months experience (in tech, anyway) when I arrived and still made 7.5k. In fact, that offer was made 4 months earlier, so with 2 months "experience". I was saving about 50-60% of that.
I think what salary you get can span anything from 2k to the sky (realistically, 20k and above will be very hard, and probably in finance or management). It's all about - here more than anywhere in the world - demonstrating value to the person signing the paycheck. If your value is much higher than what you want, then you can pretty much name your price. The tough part being convincing someone that you are worth that much. I think the rate for an American in a good corporate data science team should be at least 10-15k.
The marginal cost of foreigner vs local is, at least at these salaries, the flight. The EP costs $250/application and takes about 7 working days, with no quota. You turn up at the EP centre, pick up the card, scan your finger and you're gone within 5 minutes. Flying coach, you can get a return flight to the US for around 1k, less if you wait for a good sale. So, trivial. And it's easy to change employers - if you get a new offer, just get THEM to apply for EP and as soon as you have it, quit the first job.
Just be aware that flying to the US just plain sucks. London is a direct 12-16 hour (depending on direction). The US is one stopover, probably 20-24 hours. East coast worse than west, obviously. The other thing is expatriation has some invisible but very real downsides, the most painful one being away from family basically forever. On the upside, they get to visit an exotic country.
I think Bitcoin can be serve as a money transport protocol and Escrow services can be built on top of it. Think about buiding HTTPS on top of HTTP protocol.
There different ways to implement escrow with bitcoin.
1) You could ignore all technicalities and simply send the coins to a third party which releases it back to you or forward to the merchant. That's probably the least recommendable way, but is the easiest to explain.
2) A smarter way to do it is to use bitcoins transaction script that can process multi signature transactions, which can work in a way that if A wants to send B money, he can setup an address that can only withdraw coins from if C also signs the transaction. This method is supported by Electrum and by the Blockchain.info wallet.
In the US, there is Drexel University which also has an awesome co-op program. Many students here had worked in employers like Fb, Google, MS, Amazon, ... and then have fulltime offers.
So if you want to stay in the US and have the co-op, go to Drexel.
