1.1.1.1
Who is this IP?
Short answer: The covering range is registered to APNIC Research and Development, while Cloudflare routes 1.1.1.1 through AS13335 and operates its public recursive DNS service. This split demonstrates why “owner” must be treated as several relationships.
| Axis | Finding |
|---|---|
| Exact address | 1.1.1.1 |
| Registered covering prefix | 1.1.1.0/24 |
| Registry | APNIC |
| RDAP network name/type | APNIC-LABS / ASSIGNED PORTABLE |
| RDAP registrant | APNIC Research and Development |
| Current announced prefix | 1.1.1.0/24 |
| Current route origin | AS13335 |
| Origin holder | Cloudflare, Inc. (CLOUDFLARENET) |
| Operator/service | Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 public recursive DNS resolver |
| Project relationship | APNIC–Cloudflare DNS Resolver project |
| Globally routed | Yes |
Interpretation
- Registration: APNIC RDAP identifies the resource as
APNIC-LABSand the registrant as APNIC Research and Development. - Routing: RIPEstat reports
1.1.1.0/24announced byAS13335, Cloudflare. - Operation/service: Cloudflare publicly documents
1.1.1.1as its consumer recursive DNS service. - Relationship: APNIC RDAP explicitly describes an APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project and says the research prefix is routed globally by AS13335/Cloudflare.
Therefore, saying only “Cloudflare owns 1.1.1.1” loses important registry context. A more accurate statement is: the covering prefix is registered through APNIC to APNIC Research and Development, while Cloudflare originates the route and operates the public resolver service as part of the documented collaboration.
