Cloudflare test fails if default IP of 1.1.1.1 is consumed by other devices

The Cloudflare test fails if default IP of 1.1.1.1 is consumed by other (misconfigured) devices.
Perhaps the Cloudflare IP you use should be 1.0.0.1, to avoid that issue.
This is what it looks like because service provider's router also has 1.1.1.1 on it and that IP doesn't respond to DNS queries.

Cloudflare uses 1.1.1.1 by default, so even if it fails, it is good to show so people are aware that they have an issue on their network. Keeping it as I also think the % of users with this problem is very small by now.
