 ## DNS explained
 
-The Domain Name System (DNS) is like the phonebook of the Internet and tells your browser where a website's content lives. Each domain name–such as cloudflare.com–is mapped to an Internet Protocol (IP) address; the IP address is a numerical label assigned to a website that looks like `103.21.244.0`, for example.

 If your [domain's status](/dns/zone-setups/reference/domain-status/) is active and the queried DNS record is set to `proxied`, Cloudflare responds with an [anycast IP address](/fundamentals/concepts/cloudflare-ip-addresses/), instead of the actual IP address of the origin server as defined in your DNS table. 
 
-Your domain status is active when your nameservers are updated to point to Cloudflare and have been authenticated. The proxy status defines how Cloudflare treats queries for specific DNS records. The anycast IP address is used to distribute traffic amongst Cloudflare's network, which protects your website or app from [DDoS](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/what-is-a-ddos-attack/) and other attacks, while optimizing site speed.
