1.1.1.1 is specifically designed to address both internet performance and content filtering needs. For parents concerned about online safety, the app offers DNS filtering options that block adult content and malware while maintaining faster browsing speeds. The family protection mode operates silently in the background once configured, requiring no ongoing maintenance or monitoring. Users report significant speed improvements on cellular networks and reduced verification pop-ups during regular browsing. The app's MASQUE protocol implementation ensures encrypted connections without sacrificing performance, making it suitable for both general browsing and gaming scenarios where latency matters. Some configuration steps are required to activate the content filtering features, and the 17+ age rating from Apple creates an ironic hurdle for parents trying to install it on children's devices. Despite this rating contradiction, the technical implementation effectively blocks unwanted content while delivering the speed benefits Cloudflare's infrastructure provides.

From a protect the kid approach, I can enable block malware and adult content using DNS over WARP, and specify to only use MASQUE protocol and 1.1.1.1 will run silently in the background doing its job.
