:zap: fast dns server, built to block advertisements and malware servers - GitHub - Cottand/leng: :zap: fast dns server, built to block advertisements and malware servers

A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…).

So I forked grimd and embarked on rewriting a good chunk of it for it to address my needs - the result is leng.

  • it is fast
  • it is small
  • it is easy
  • you can specify blocklists and it will fetch them for you
  • you can specify custom DNS records with proper zone file syntax (SRV records, etc)
  • it supports DNS-over-HTTPS so you can stay private

I just released a new version which includes full NixOS support via a module! ❄

    I’m currently using a pihole paired with unbound using Quad9 as a TLS upstream provider (because the ISP is hijacking normal DNS requests on port 53). Does this offer any benefits? Would be nice to have an alternative if my current setup stops working.
