Rethink**DNS** is [DNS Resolver](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-dns/) Service with custom rules and blocklists. A DNS resolver is an address book of the internet-- it helps locate IP addresses of the servers given a domain name. For example, dns.google.com (a domain name) is located at 8.8.8.8 (IP address). This mapping is retrieved by a DNS resolver.
