So why does dig udemy.com return 1.1.1.1?

When I enter https://1.1.1.1 on the browser URL, it opens a landing page from Cloudflare.

  • In general, a server can run multiple services on one ip address (even multiple different websites). – Dusan Bajic Jun 08 '20 at 13:25
  • 1) "So why does dig udemy.com return 1.1.1.1? " And why not? It is silly/useless, but every owner of a domain is free to put whatever it wants in its zonefile. Why is this fact suddenly a problem for you? what is the context? your problem regarding that? and 2) your question is not related to programming so it is offtopic here. – Patrick Mevzek Jun 08 '20 at 14:40
