Same problem here. It would be nice if Cloudflare created an alias to 1.1.1.1, because I can't access it at all.

Edit: 1.0.0.1 also takes me to the router configuration screen. And there's no configuration setting for it. :(

Yup, these ranges are poisonous, which is why APNIC kept them, so this is effectively to be expected. It would actually be extraordinary if, since the range was determined to be poisonous and so mustn't be delegated this had magically fixed itself. So I was sort-of expecting to see some comments in the last thread about 1.1.1.1 like yours.

The "good" news is that this isn't being used for anything you really need - imagine if 1.1.1.1 had been delegated and now it was the resolution for www.facebook.com or indeed news.ycombinator.com ...

The bad news is that idiots do not learn from their mistakes, that's Dunning Kruger, the people who built your device don't understand why this was the Wrong Thing™ and won't now seek to do better in future. If we're lucky they'll go out of business, but that's the best we can hope for.

https://cloudflare-dns.com/ works, however it redirects to https://1.1.1.1/
