Interestingly, 1.1.1.1, which is Cloudflare's famous public DNS 
resolver, is not included in that list of IPv4 addresses:

                IP Ranges | Cloudflare
                https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/

        Their main reference page (above) doesn't seem to mention it, but I 
wonder if it might be prudent to whitelist it as well (in addition to 
Cloudflare's official list) to ensure smoother operations overall.
