I've been reading about the new fast and secure consumer-focused DNS service offered to the world by Cloudflare on 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. It was announced on April 1 but is not a joke.

I was unable to get to its info page on https://1.1.1.1/ and read in this ZDnet article that perhaps my Pace 5268AC is blocking it:

"AT&T Gigapower using 1.1.1.1 on an internal interface on at least one model of router-gateway, the Pace 5268AC, which effectively blocks this address"

My house in Bernal Heights in SF has a Sonic 5268AC on Sonic fiber and my girlfriend's house in Berkeley has an AT&T 5268AC on Sonic FTTN (Sonic fiber coming late in 2018). My phone or PC can't get to the info page https://1.1.1.1/ at either location, though if I turn off my phone's Wi-Fi and use cellular data, I can get to this info page.
I'm OK with Sonic's DNS, but I thought this new, faster DNS would be interesting to try with the fast fiber. I thought you folks at Sonic would want to be aware of this issue in case you can eliminate the 5268AC's restriction in a future firmware update. Hope it's not baked into the hardware.
