https://1.1.1.1 link has details of the service.
No official announcement from APNIC (though Geoff replied my direct email inquiry privately) I don’t know why this prefix was handed over to any company for a service without public consultation but again this may or may not be required. I am just suprised to see lack of transparency about this allocation rather than anything else. World needs more services like this to make internet better and safer, i don’t think it is important what IPs are , ie: opendns , they might not have fancy ip block but they get the job done!(well done!)
